I don't see how this could work anywhere. Oh, maybe a Mac, I don't
know how they denote subfolders.
I don't know how it's coded internally, but I do know that on my Mac I
can make a filename with a "/" or a "\" in it and it's no problem.
I appreciate Mac's filename flexibility. I'm not aware of any character
that is disallowed. The one I miss most on Windows is the question
mark. I love to move files around in subfolders as I'm sorting them,
and I like giving subfolders descriptive names which are often
questions, like "are these duplicates?" or "ok to throw out?".
Filenaming convenience is certainly one aspects of Mac which would be
nice to copy to Windows, but in the case of such folder naming
situations as Mark raises here, since I'm the only one reading them I
get by quite nicely without the question marks. I know what I meant
when I created them. If I need to bring special attention to them, I'll
put AAAA at the start so they alway sort at the top.
