Title: Xbox and comma's
Post by: hyper on October 17, 2006, 06:37:57 PM

If you try to xfer over a directory with a comma or other unallowed chars in it, it just gives an error. Can this be fixed or added? I have alot of MP3's the "band, the" or tilds and renaming them all would be a hard ;\

There's unfortunately no way of fixing this at the moment - a manual rename is the solution, or perhaps an AppleScript to do it for you. It's a common problem, however, and one that I shall be addressing in a future update, although I can't say specifically when it might be implemented - it's not a 'quick fix'. Sorry!

Sorry for sticking my nose in here, but I don't understand the problem (obviously!).

I can copy a folder called "A,B" containing a file called "c,d.txt" from Mac to remote server. Isn't this what we are talking about? Apologies for my ignorance, but I am interested to see where I'm misreading the post.

hyper is asking for a facility to map illegal characters to legal ones automatically.

For example, the / character is reserved as a path delimiter so you can't use it in a name. At the moment Yummy already replaces a / with a : on upload and replaces a : with a / on download. hyper would like a configurable table.

Basically yeah. I know it would be annoying but it would be a time saver. Sometimes I dont want to have to modify my local copies as I might keep mp3's organized for Itunes and on the remote server this is not an options. Especially with FATX! I look forward to it. Great software.
