Thank you very much for sharing!  Did you test this with names
containing non-ascii characters?  If so, what version of Python did
you test against (I had some trouble to get urllib.unquote to work in
anything from Python 2.5 to 2.7)?

After a quick look this ought to work for at least f-spot 0.8.x, and
probably 0.7.x to (not quite sure when f-spot changed to database
version 17)

Thanks

Sven
