Bug ID: 391312 Summary: Rename with time template can add colons (:) forbidden character in Windows 10 Product: digikam Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: AdvancedRename Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: pschroe...@yahoo.com Target Milestone: --- I was using [date:"h:mm A"] to batch rename some files. I thought the new names looked good in the preview so I hit OK and the files promptly disappeared. I used my file browser to look in the folder and all the photos were now 0 bytes in sized and no longer JPGs. I eventually realized the date template was able to add a COLON to the filenames and realized they are forbidden characters in the Windows file system. I know I should remember more forbidden characters, but I think the program should not let me and especially catch it in the preview. I once renamed a folder and somehow added a space to the end of the folder name that Windows 10 forbids for filenames that I could not open that I had to delete from the Run prompt. I also think folder names that end in a ")" cause problems. They show in the tree but show as empty in thumbnails until I rename them back to the old name. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
