Bug ID: 471264
Summary: Cannot send files with colon in filename
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Cannot send files that contain colon in filename.
Colon is an invalid character in filenames on Android. Yet, it still should be
possible to send a file, or at the very least, the error message should be more
descriptive.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file with colon in filename on desktop.
2. Try to send this files to Android device.
OBSERVED RESULT
Error "Failed receiving file from <desktop-hostname>" on Android. No error on
desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT
There are multiple solutions. I would prefer that the file is sent to Android
and the colon is replaced with underscore (that's what my phone does, when I
try to rename the file and put a colon in filename).
Another option would be to display a dialogue prompting to input a different
filename.
At least fixing the error message, so it points out that the filename is
invalid, and why, would be an improvement.
