doc.kml failed to load in Google Earth ("Not Well Formed")

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I labeled my picture directory "GW Bridge & Back".  After I ran my pictures
and .gpx file through GPicSync and tried to load them into Google Earth, I
received the following error:

"Open of doc.kml failed: Parse error on Line 4 Character 28. Not well
formed (invalid token)."

The character pointed to in the error msg was an ampersand ("&") taken from
the name of the picture directory.

This problem occurred in V1.23 and V1.26beta

If possible, a filter needs to be added to the XML file creation module
which scans for all XML tokens and special characters, and converts them to
XML-safe mnemonics.  In this instance the "&" would be converted to "&amp;".

You're welcome.  If I can be of any additional help (including code - I'm a PHP
developer) please let me know.
