Description post 2011-09-26 07:47:11 UTC

Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Hi,

I try to create a project that includes the character '+': "myproject++". This is supported by CMake and the file system just fine. However, kdevelop changes that to "myproject%2b%2B" and also names the folder on disk like that. Please don't do this! Either accept what you user wants or tell him _why_ it's not possible. A rather silent name mangling is not the way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to create a project with such a name.


Expected Results:  
Keep the '+' character instead of using %2B instead.

Project names cannot include the '+' character when created in the project wizard. This displays the error "Invalid project name." Project names with pluses aren't mangled when imported.
