This is not a bug but completely intentional. On a FAT*, NTFS*, or FUSE* file system are "," or ";" prohibited characters in the filename. digiKam allows these special characters in the file name on an EXT* or other native Linux file system. We had bug reports that these characters lead to errors on the Windows file system. Maik
I checked again, since digiKam-6.0.0 with Bug 391312 there is a query of the file system and the suppression of not allowed file characters on Windows file systems. Maik
