Not to replace ':' with '-' #534

I found that when renaming pdf files, zotfile will replace ':' with '-' automatically. Is there any way to solve the problem?

Related to #537.

A literal colon has often been a reserved character because of, for example, its usage to represent drives (a:, c:, d:) since the MSDOS days. I recommend to avoid them in file names. If you must then try a fullwidth unicode colon instead U+FF1A. It may only display correctly on modern operating systems.
