I study a little a problem (not really a bug) in file transfert :
Sometimes, when someone wants to send a file, the receiver doesn't see it :
it's because Windows doesn't allow some characters in file names. The chars
allowed by Linux and not by Windows are :
: * ? " < > |
It maybe depends on the filesystems, so on some Linux it may not work too.
Those test have been done on a NTFS partition for Windows, so on a FAT file
system it could be different too... (ext3 for Linux)
What I propose is to make an array contening all char which could cause an
issue and then apply a regex on the filename that is send. I don't know how
the MSN Protocol works, but it's maybe possible to send another filename and
use the original filename as a source of transfert.
Another solution at least is simply to display something in the CW or by a
messagebox to prevent the user that the transfert could not work as well
because of the use of those weird char, but Billiop didn't not really agree
with that...
I hope my english will be understood.
Thanks for all.
