Summary: Warn the user of invalid characters when copying files
via SMB

DESCRIPTION
Hi! I'd like to ask if is it possible to add a small QoL feature to Dolphin
when you are copying a file via SMB.
I was trying to copy a file that was called "Name : Otherpartofname (1994).mkv"
between my Desktop Fedora 44 KDE PC and my HTPC running Batocera Linux, using
shared folders via SMB protocol.
At first the file refuses to copy just saying it was impossible to create "Name
: Otherpartofname (1994).mkv.part" on the destination folder. Just to be sure
I've also tried to copy a file with "name.mkv" and it worked, so permissions
are fine.
Then, I've tried to copy that file to my USB Key and finally Dolphin warned me
why i can't copy it. It was for the : (colon) character that i wasn't able to
copy via SMB. When i renamed the file without the colon, it worked perfectly.
Is it possible to add a warning when copying a file via SMB about invalid
characters like : (colon)? It will be useful for a beginner user like me,
without discovering these things by accident :)
Thanks a lot for all the work on KDE, it's a superb OS!
Best regards!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file with : (colon)
2. Try to copy it with SMB protocol to another PC
3. Watch failing the copy without a clear reason for the error
OBSERVED RESULT
No copy happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
The copy should work.
