[KPhotoAlbum] [Bug 214816] New: Error with new XML Format if tag-name contains characters that are not valid as XML Tags

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Seems like you checked the "Choose speed over readability for index.xml on the 
Dtabase backend tab in the settings dialog.

Cheers
Jesper.

| 
|   <image width="1600" startDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" height="1200"
| md5sum="aeee29c985d036f97ef53ef2811995a9" file="Paul, Lara und

| angle="90" >
|    <options>
|     <option name="Jahreszeit_Stimmung" >
|      <value value="Fasching" />
|     </option>
|     <option name="Orte" >
|      <value value="Oberkappel" />
|     </option>
|     <option name="Personen" >
|      <value value="Paul" />
|     </option>
|    </options>
|   </image>
| 
| now it looks like this:
| 
|   <image width="1200" Jahreszeit/Stimmung="7" Orte="6"
| startDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" height="1600"
| md5sum="aeee29c985d036f97ef53ef2811995a9" Personen="18" file=XXX.jpg"
| endDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" label="dscn0885" angle="90" />
| 
| so the item "Jahreszeit/Stimmung" was an XML-VALUE before and is an XML-TAG
| now. However XML puts much tighter restrictions on what an XML-TAG can
| contain, that's where the problem occurs.
| 
| and yes, replacing this with e.g. underscore to "Jahreszeit_Stimmung"
| allowed me to continue, however you will get this problem with anybody who
| tries to use one of those characters...
| 
| Thanks... Dominik.
