Filenames with illegal characters

[Robert2413]

When I try to download files with names containing non-ASCII characters, UE 3.4 cannot save them and automatically suspends the save queue. I think that I understand why this is happening -- the filenames are not legal in Windows so UE cannot write the file to disk.

Does UE has a feature to automatically modify filenames to purge illegal characters so that these can be saved in Windows? Or is there another workaround?

Here is an example of a problem filename from alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed, where there is a chain of control characters that will ordinarily print as a forward slash (/):

Fate ⁄ Zero - 19 (720p|.mp4|h264|aac) ~bY NicoNico [*/17] - "[NicoNico]_Fate_⁄_Zero_-_19_(720p).mp4"

Thanks.

It replaces the slash char code, maybe it is something else locale specific.

I won't forget to check it out, need to finish some work in progress on the code first.

What is the system/language?

It saves the files for me, there are some characters, but the files were saved and they can be deleted as well.

System is Win XP 32-bit. Language is American English.

No problem in XP here.

UE doesn't even change the file name.

Maybe the save path is too long?

I am saving over a normal Windows network to a Buffalo TeraStation, which as about 6 years old now. Maybe there is a problem here that doesn't exist wwhen saved to a local directory? Or maybe trying ot make a folder with those special characters in it isn't working OK?

Here's error message:

Save queue suspended
See Tasks menu to resume. Save error:
the filename, directory, or volume label syntax is


That's where the message ends.

Here are my save/unpack preferences:

does it save locally, the problem is only with saving over network?

i used auto save so it also created the directory name with those characters as well.
