Description Kenneth Perry 2016-10-02 19:26:38 UTC

Having a folder containing /s in its name tries to open it as a subdirectory and not the direct name. For example, a folder named 'a/folder/'.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder called 'a/folder/' in Google Drive.
2. Navigate to it in gdrive://.


Actual Results:  
Tries to open 'gdrive://username/a/folder/' as the subtree a > folder instead of the folder named 'a/folder/'

Expected Results:  
Opens the folder correctly.

Yeah, this is tricky.
A proper solution would be to replace every forward slash with another character (I think the official client uses underscores). But then we need a mapping between the original and the replaced filename, in case the item is modified. A trade-off could be trying to mark these items as read-only, then no mapping would be necessary.

Forwarding Kai's comment from duplicate #391597:

> Isn't a slash (the one and only) invalid character in a file name? I think the GDrive KIO should escape it (replace it by fraction separator like KIO does everywhere else)
