putio-sync-desktop's Issues

Windows does not allow for a colon in the file name, and this will cause the sync to hault

Windows will not allow for a colon in a path or file name, among others. If that happens the sync errors out and grinds to a stop. Was unsure if this belonged in the putio-sync or putio-sync-desktop repo so I've posted it in both.

Two changes could be made to address this:

  1. Remove colons.

  2. When this error is encountered, log it, and continue to the next file

This is the full list of restricted characters that can not be in a path or file URL on Windows. In practice, all of them should be removed.

  • < (less than)
  • > (greater than)
  • : (colon)
  • " (double quote)
  • / (forward slash)
  • \ (backslash)
  • | (vertical bar or pipe)
  • ? (question mark)
  • * (asterisk)
