I've never used bean-bake before. I just tried it. Some of the output filenames contain colons, for example "Assets:Cash.html".
Some filesystem and/or OS cannot handle colons in paths. Linux allows colons in paths, while Windows does not. For example, if you mount an NTFS filesystem in Linux, and create a file called "foo:bar.txt" in it before mounting this NTFS filesystem in Windows, you cannot open / rename / move /delete the file in Windows. In this case, NTFS allows colons, but Windows does not support it. I don't use macOS, but I guess it's something similar. A quick Google search reveals that the HFS filesystem used by previous versions of macOS does not allow colons in filenames. -- Zhuoyun Wei On Tue, May 7, 2019, at 10:28, richard gott wrote: > Hello > I am the treasurer of a small charity.
