Hi Zythyr,
As you have observed, windows system doesn't allow : in the path, I encounter this as well, some of my files are labeled by time e.g. "2018-06-10 10:30:00", these colons trigger errors. Sometimes articles have colons in their titles, I always remove them when saving, even in Linux systems where colons are allowed. I guess the easiest way is to rename your folder, if the manual work is not too much. But you are right, I should probably add this replacement for windows systems.
@Xunius Yes I manually fixed the folder names in Mendeley and removed the colon. I was just reporting the bug in case you want to catch this error in Python and strip the colon from the folder name so that your script doesn't stop midway.
Firstly I want to say thank you very much for creating Menotexport. This is a very useful tool!
As I was testing out Menotexport, I noticed that if my Mendely folder has a colon
:
in the name, thenWindowsError: [Error 267]
is thrown when trying to create a folder which includes a colon:
in the name. Having a colon:
is not valid in a file/folder name in Windows.See error below:
