Sanitizing filenames #116

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Description of the issue:
thelastripper keeps evil characters in the file / directory names.
An option to strip them (at least the colons, they are the most frequent
culprits) would be great.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Rip anything with colons or other nastiness in the album / song name
2. Try copying whatever you ripped to a windows partition
3. See it fail.

What is the expected output?
It is impossible to copy invalid (from a windows point of view) filenames
to a windows partition. Nasty mass-renaming hacks are required.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM:

TheLastRipper version? 1.1.1
Mono/.Net runtime version? 1.2.4
Operating system and version? Ubuntu 7.10

Not meant as a "Defect"! 

Sorry, I did not see the issue type setting. The priority should probably be 
"Low", too.

Previously we removed all non-alphabetic letters from filenames etc...
Now we're using a platform dependent list of illegal chars from the .Net/mono...

Previously people where unhappy with the fact that thelastripper eat a lot of
chars... And now it's not eating enough :)

There's other issues regarding the file/directory naming... So I guess we'll 
have to
sanitize it eventually.
