Title:
There is no warning message when inserting a forbidden symbol (/) in
filename
Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When the user tries to save a file from the "Save" option and Inputs
labels containing "/" nothing happens, the "Save" dialog remains
opened and he is not warned with an error message.
An average user cannot understand this, since the user is not informed
of what mistake he has done!
Papercut solution:
An appropriate dialogue is needed:
"File names cannot contain "/" "
"If you intend to save the file in a folder "xx", First Create folder "xx" in
the location"
------------- [Old description] -------------
When the user types a filename, if he puts a forbidden symbol (like "/" for
example) in the name, when clicking on the "Save" button there's a really
obscure message coming out: instead of saying "one or more character you have
typed are not admitted" , or "the symbol "/" is not admitted in a file name",
it says (approximately, I'm translating from the italian version) "THE FOLDER'S
CONTENT CANNOT BE VISUALIZED: error in executing stat of file
/home/john/Desktop/xxxxxx : no file or directory".
--------------------------
I tried with Openoffice.org, Gedit, Archive manager, Brasero, Sound
recorder and Gimp, and they all have the same behaviour. The only one
to give the correct response has been Nautilus which told me that "/"
is not allowed. I made the tests on a virtual machine running Karmic
Alpha 2 updated to 07/05/09.
I think this is very confusing for the newcomer: if it's easily
fixable, it should be fixed in Karmic.
