Thanks Jim!
Renaming would break links in video editing software to the video
files, but I could temporarily rename the files until I am done with
them, then rename them back.
The only hassle is that they'll have to quit their editing program.
I am going to try to eliminate the path by changing the defaultFolder
next...

Not too difficult to convert the filename slashes to another char.
--do this for each folder that contains poorly named files
set the defaultFolder to pathToFolder
put the files into fileList
filter fileList with "*/*"
set the itemdel to "/"
repeat for each line LNN in fileList
put LNN into userFileName
replace "/" with "|" in userFileName
rename ( LNN) to (userFileName)
end repeat
Hope this helps

Thanks Phil, I figured as much.
These will be already-captured video files, in which some people put
the date... grrrrr!

If there is a slash in the file name on OS X, Revolution replaces

Unfortunately, this means the file cannot be found.
Of course, replacing colons with slashes doesn't help, since Rev
interprets this as an extra folder.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Hi Josh,
My solution: disallow slashes in filenames.
Rev lets you detect slashes in filenames (by listing the files in a
folder for example) but doesn't let you [successfully] reference
files whose names contain them.
Slashes aren't allowed in filenames on Windows IIRC, so if you're
making a multi-platform thing you'll need to deal with it there
anyway.
I don't know a workaround.
