We should trim folder names before they are created in Mahara to avoid this problem entirely.

C:\Users\gagesw\Downloads\Mahara\mahara-export-html-user230-1311221980.zip: Cannot create portfolio-for-gagesw\files\file\Here is a folder with trailing spaces \title-vidmaster.gif The system cannot find the path specified. ! C:\Users\gagesw\Downloads\Mahara\mahara-export-html-user230-1311221980.zip: Attempting to correct the invalid file name ! C:\Users\gagesw\Downloads\Mahara\mahara-export-html-user230-1311221980.zip: Renaming portfolio-for-gagesw\files\file\Here is a folder with trailing spaces While this fixes the issue, the HTML pages are generated before the zip is even created so all its references to files in the folder will be broken. Regarding the folder itself in the file area, the user can fix the folder name but they may not even notice the issue due to the trailing spaces being concatenated in the links (see attached image). This issue does not effect the file share as files/folders are given numerical references.
