Macos filesystem compatibility #180

Closed goranx closed 2 years ago

goranx commented 2 years ago

Apple filesystem is allowing certain characters that are not allowed on Windows, for some systems that have millions of files its very unpractical to find software or make a script that will do this fast enough. I think it would be very practical to make this a feature to rename(replace with some default character like "_") all illegal files so the other side can receive them.

A potential solution is in PR https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/pull/7876.

Thanks @goranx for the report. The syncthing-macos project only ships the official syncthing application in a macOS specific bundle. When things in syncthing are bugged or features desired the main project (syncthing/syncthing) or forum must be used.

I will close this issue as it is already in a ticket which @rasa suggested. Feel free to comment when things are not clear.
