Bug: slimbox fails on images with brackets in the filename

[Robin]

Slimbox fails to display images that have brackets in the filename,
eg. "example(2).jpg"
Filenames such as this are quite common, because Windows automatically
adds (number) when duplicate file names are detected during a paste
operation.
Hopefully this bug will be a fairly easy fix.

You need to use HTML entities in the slimbox title names where "special" characters are needed:

( left parenthesis

) right parenthesis

Try these out.

I'm talking about the image filenames, not their title attributes.

And if you are saying I could write some code to replace characters in
my page with their HTML entity equivalents - well, yes, I could do
that, but much better to fix the Slimbox code so all users don't have
to solve this bug for themselves.

For those wanting to roll their own fix for this, you need to replace
parenthesis characters in filenames with their URL-encoded equivalents
(not their HTML-entity equivalents). Reference here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

Here is the code I have used:

$("a[rel^='lightbox']").each(function() {
$(this).attr("href", function(index, old) {
return old.replace("(", "%28").replace(")", "%29");
});
});

Would be nice to see this built into Slimbox though.
