Thanks for the link, but I can't find where it mentions & is a reserved
character.
I found this, though:
Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode
characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255), except
for the following:
-
The following reserved characters:
- < (less than)
-
(greater than)
- : (colon)
- " (double quote)
- / (forward slash)
- \ (backslash)
- | (vertical bar or pipe)
- ? (question mark)
- * (asterisk)
It used to work on 2.6.21. It still saves to a path with "thorough c & d"
in it, but the path needs to be shorter FSR.
Kind regards,
