Error creating temporary file due to illegal characters
Hello *,
when trying to edit a file on a server (Explorer-Interface: right-click on file, select Edit), it fails with the following message:
The file to edit is located on the server at
(Replaced some strings with xxx for shortening and privacy)
The problem here is, that no a directory with the name ... (only dots, no letters or numbers) is not allowed in the windows filesystem and so the creation of the directory fails.
There should be a substitution of those illegal characters when temporary saving those files.
Thanks for this great program!
Regards
