Description vilkmail 2018-06-23 14:09:46 UTC 
When renaming a file using "[file] - [meta:Xmp.digiKam.TagsList]" nested tags are separated by a bar | character, which is not a valid filename character in Windows 10. The rename fails at this point.

Example tags: Location|Paris
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2018-06-24 07:02:08 UTC 
All these characters are not allowed in Windows file names.

? * < >  , \ + : = / " ; [ ] |

What should we do?
1. Convert all characters under Linux and Windows? With which character replaced?
2. Check the file system and convert only FAT or NTFS these characters?

I would imagine that under Linux certain users use these characters.
