Filtering of disallowed characters in filenames #11

Open PiotrSobiegraj opened 10 years ago

When adding files with standard pattern (#{course} #{sectionIndex}.#{lectureIndex} #{lecture}) this extension can use character which is disallowed in filenames, for example " in Windows. Such file don't even begin to download. Plugin should filter out such characters.

The problem exists inter alia in "Drugs and the Brain" course (https://class.coursera.org/drugsandbrain-002/lecture) with Drugs and the Brain 8.1 2 Circuit and cellular level. "Outside-In" Mechanisms (11:23).mp4 lecture.

This is addressed in pull request #7 which has been merged into the repository. It's not available on the Chrome Web Store, but if you compile the extension yourself from the current master branch, quotes should be removed from filenames.
