Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When I try to copy files that contain non-FAT-Characters from my ext3 partition to my vfat audio player, dolphin and konqueror just refuse to do this. This is annoying since I have lots of music files that use a colon as separator, or have "?" in the track name. Nautilus from gnome just changes this characters to an underscore on copy, and I think it would be nice if one could configure such a behaviour in KDE, too (starting nautilus inside KDE4 sucks^^). I don't know if kio file is the right place for this bug, so please move it if you know a better one. Regards,Michael
the slave shouldn't do this, either it's done in the application (dolpin) or the KIO layer itself.

A list of illegal filename conventions for FAT / NTFS filesystems can be found here: http://www.grouplogic.com/knowledge/index.cfm/fuseaction/view/docID/111 This problem is especially relevant for Digikam users, as Digikam default rename option uses the : character, which is illegal in FAT file systems. Therefore copying files from Digikam to USB sticks is a pain. Yes, I know that there is a workaround: change the Digikam settings. But that is for that specific case. This bug requests that all cases be dealt with intelligently. Thanks.

Git commit 2750b5b455cc5eed15f4cfd049d88cf749a58594 by Ahmad Samir. Committed on 09/08/2021 at 11:17. Pushed by dfaure into branch 'master'. CopyJob: ask users about replacing invalid characters in file/folder names Some Windows filesystems disallow certain characters, which would result in the copy/move ...etc failing if one of the files has one of those characters. Now the user can select to replace those invalid characters with an "_".
