If I drag a file from Mixxx into another application (in this case, a browser), the URL is escaped if the file path contains a [ or a ]. This causes problems in receiving applications, as the file path will not resolve correctly.
Behavior of dragging and dropping a file from Mixxx into a web page's drop zone:
With brackets in the path
File location on disk:/Users/jeff/Music/Library/Music/Time Life - Classic Country [Disc 1]/01 On The Road Again.mp3
name property of File object in js as received in the event01%20On%20The%20Road%20Again.mp3
Full path in js /Users/jeff/Music/Library/Music/Time%20Life%20-%20Classic%20Country/Road%20Songs%20[Disc%201]/01%20On%20The%20Road%20Again.mp3
Without brackets in the path (expected behavior)
File location on disk:/Users/jeff/Music/Library/Music/Time Life - Classic Country/01 On The Road Again.mp3
name property of File object in js as received in the event01 On The Road Again.mp3
Full path in js /Users/jeff/Music/Library/Music/Time Life - Classic Country/01 On The Road Again.mp3
The escaped file path causes problems in all receiving apps, and causes the receiving app issues when trying to find the file, causing mysterious errors without a clear reason for its a occurrence. Handling it on the receiving end is not possible in the case of a browser event, as the File object within a drop event has an immutable name property for security purposes.
