Bug ID: 523772
Summary: Unable to transfer files with reserved characters in
their name over to an mtp device
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 23.08.5
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
What's happening people, it's Markiplier. I was transferring music files over
to my android phone using a usb the other day with one file refusing to copy
displaying a generic unable to copy error. The filename of that file contained
a question mark (?), and after removing it I was able to successfully copy it
over to the device storage.
Apparently android, despite using ext4, adds extra restrictions so its file
storage would be compatible with fat32/exfat.[0] And if i were to put a file
containing forbidden characters in its name on a fat32/exfat drive, i would be
prompted to automatically replace them with an underscore (_). I propose to
implement the same behavior for mtp devices.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect an android device ( preferably running android 11 or newer ) to a pc
over a usb
2. Try to copy a file whose filename contains fat/exfat reserved characters (
e.g. "Remember Me?.mp3") over to the device storage
OBSERVED RESULT
The file isn't copied prompting to cancel or retry
EXPECTED RESULT
A prompt to replace special characters with an underscore
