Folder Names with colon in Title

[darryls 0]

Hello,

 

One feature that I have noticed to be an issue for some time(multiple revisions) is that when I use Auto Organize (QNAP server version), the parent Folder Name will have a colon in it if the show title has a colon. Of course, the colon is an illegal character in windows so I have to fix manually on the server.

All the files are named correctly.

My Current version is : Version 3.0.6400.0

 

Example: Tron: Uprising

http://thetvdb.com/?id=258480&tab=series

 

TRON: Uprising (2012)

|...Season 1

    |...TRON  Uprising - S01E01 - The Renegade (1).mkv

     ... ect - all files are properly named with TRON Uprising, no colon.

 

It's not a huge issue since rarely does a show have a colon.

 

Let me know if you need anything else to help resolve this issue,

Darryl

Hey there Darryls,

 

I don't use the auto-organise myself, but came across this in manual renaming of some things in my library.

 

The normal ':' colon doesnt work off course, but there is this character I came across in the ASCII set that does add a colon to a file or folder '：'. I have forgotten what the ASCII code is, but copy and paste should work (which is what I generally do). This would be a different character though, so might not be a perfect solution if the auto-organise doesnt recognise this as a colon.

Follow up on this topic...

 

Aussiedroid: Thanks for the suggestion. 

I would assume the expected behaviour would be to act the way file renaming works and remove the colon from the folder title.

 

Is there a way to submit this as a bug?

 

Thanks,

Darryl

To support,

 

Another check in for this issue...

 

I added a series [From Dusk till Dawn: The Series (2014)]

 

All files were named correctly, example:

From Dusk Till Dawn  The Series - S02E09 - There Will Be Blood.avi

 

The parent folder was named with a colon which made it inaccessible from windows.

 

Is there something else I need to do to make sure this is logged as a bug?

 

Thanks

Darryl

How do you get the folder to have a colon in it?  Windows does not like that (conflicts with drive lettering I believe).  So, this is running on a QNAP server version, not windows?  Might want to post this in the correct section.

Thanks,

 

I will post in the QNAP forum.

Ok, I understand. It's a valid character in the qnap file system but using the colon means that windows devices can't read it on the network.
