BUG: Filepaths with square brackets, [ ], are ignored/errored

[MarcG2]

I discovered another odd bug. If I have files located in a folder that contains square brackets in the name, difPy ends up ignoring those files. If the file name contains brackets, there doesn't seem to be a problem.

I'm using the CLI version on Windows in case that makes a difference.

EDIT:
This is in regards v4.0.1. I haven't tried 4.1 which I noticed just came out.

Hi @MarcG2,

Thanks for reaching out! Please try the new version difPy v4.1.0 as it comes with some improvements around the algorithm.
Feel free to reach out if the issue still persists.

Best,
Elise

I tested out the new version. The bug is still there. An example file path that gives that's a problem is

D:\Pictures[2024] Images\img1.png

If there's only one bracket as shown here, difpy works like normal

D:\Pictures[2024 Images\img1.png

So it appears to be a parsing issue. To replicate, simply create a folder with a bracket pair in its name and add 2 copies of the same image.
