Files with % and # in the file name can't be imported by drag and drop

Assigned to DELETED @weldjuggling

Take any file that can be imported into pitivi and rename it so that it contains % or # and you will get an error when trying to import it.

The user gets the error:

The following file can not be used with PiTiVi.
URI:test #.flv
Problem:Pipeline didn't want to go to PAUSED.
