Characters in folder names #19

Closed monicabritton closed 8 years ago

monicabritton commented 8 years ago

When I try to create a folder within a share, if try I name it, say October-2016 nothing happens. No error message or anything.

But if I change it to: October_2016 or October 2016

it creates the folder.

Some characters shouldn't be allowed (such as "*", "/"), but I think commonly used ones should (including "-" and even ".").

Or, there should be an error message explaining why the folder create has "failed".

Thanks!

I'm not allowing "." as a valid character because of its usage in relative directory and URL paths. I added "-" and "_" as valid characters. Feel free to suggest others.
