File Names with Special Characters
You could try making a hard link to the file with the special characters in its name. But name the link something very simple like temp0001. Then, open the link. I’ve gotten around similar problems in the QT player with this technique. It seems that the QT player (at least) squawks when you use some of the more esoteric features of Windows file names such as special characters, parentheses, and brackets. Then, when you’re done doing whatever you’re doing, just delete the hard link.
