--- Comment #11 from Steve Vialle <[email protected]> --- (In reply to John Kizer from comment #9) > filename entered in the Save dialog be silently substituted with a > visually-similar character > ... > For what it's worth, that *seems* like risky behavior It would be flat-out *bad* behaviour. A file manager that lies to the user about what is on disk and presents a misleading view that differs from every other tool on the system is failing at it's primary task. FWIW, Windows does this kind of thing using NTFS "alternate data streams" (i.e. both names are preserved). If this bizzarre corner-case really needs to be handled (IMO it doesn't, forbidden characters have existed for decades and are well-documented), it should be done system-wide at the filesystem layer not in $random_way by every $random_app. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
