I've fixed the code so that it now only allows alphanumeric characters,
space, dot, dash and underscore. This should (hopefully ;) fix all our
problems with the charset and filesystems. Please try out the latest svn
trunk head.

You might want to check and clean up the folder of your MP3 player, as
gPodder might now sync to a different location than before, so you have
to remove the old sync folders (with special characters) manually.


Enjoy,
Thomas
