Problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folders
There are problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folders.
To reproduce:
Case #1
Steps:
1. Select some files
2. Press Alt+M - Move To...
3. In the Destination Edit Box write A "Quotes" Folder (any name which will have double quotes will do)
4. Press Enter/Ok
Expected:
All selected files to be moved in A "Quotes" Folder
Actual:
The folder isn't created, a series of XnView errors appear and the files remain in place
---8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<---
Case #2
Steps:
1. Select a folder
2. Try to rename it to A "Quotes" Folder
Expected:
The folder should be renamed
Actual:
Nothing happens. The old name remains in place.

Windows doens't allow to use " in a filename

Re: Problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folde
Pfff... Right. A message perhaps? (Perhaps even the text from Windows Explorer?) - something like "Cannot create folder. Check the folder name and/or rights"xnview wrote:Windows doens't allow to use " in a filename

Re: Problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folde
Problem still occurs in v0.84: When using double quotes (or other invalid characters like "\") in a filename XnView just does nothing.
Expected behaviour: XnView should display a warning or something informing the user about invalid characters.

Re: Problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folde
Well... ...somewhat. The message is quite cryptic ("Cannot open destination file. Please check permissions") which is repeated "n" times if someone presses Skip - where "n" is the number of files to copy/move. Ok, we have Skip All. Perhaps we can live with this.

Re: Problems with double quotes (") in the name of the folde
Works fine for me in 0.85 beta 2: Double quotes (") can no longer be entered in the field "Destination".
m.Th.: Also o.k. for you?
