Is there a way to escape special characters in = filenames passed to externalfigure.  I'm encountering the situation = where users are choosing images that may contain brackets or curly = braces (e.g., flower[1].jpg or flower{1}.jpg).  If I pass filename = containing these characters directly to externalfigure, the closing = bracket is mistaken for the end of the filename.
\externalfigure[flower{1}.jpg] % works
\externalfigure[flower[1].jpg] % doesn't work

I then tried to define a variable that holds the filename and pass that = variable to externalfigure, but it ran into problems with curly = braces.

\def\myimagefilename{flower[1].jpg}
\externalfigure[\myimagefilename] % works

\def\myimagefilename{flower{1}.jpg}
\externalfigure[\myimagefilename] % doesn't work

Does anyone have any idea how I could handle arbitrary filename inputs = that contain brackets and curly braces?

Cheers,
Mike
