Original description:
Reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1048639 :
I was unable to edit a photo using "Open with External Editor". Instead of loading "/home/abentley/Pictures/Old family photos/Lynne's pix/image0029.jpg", it launched The Gimp, which said:
Opening '/home/abentley/Pictures/Old family photos/Lynne's' failed: No such file or directory
Calling error for procedure 'file-jpeg-load':
Could not open '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory
Opening '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' failed: Could not open '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory
When I changed the external editor to "Image Viewer", it said: "The given locations contain no images".

Perhaps the fix for #5384 can be repurposed to fix this, too...

I just tried this on an unmodified copy of master and couldn't reproduce it; I'll contact the original reporter via Launchpad for more info.
