- replete 2y agoDid you upgrade to Sequoia?
- baal80spam 2y agoWow. Coming from DOS times, supporting double quotes in a filename is wild. I _still_ tend not to use whitespaces in filenames!
- dwaite 2y agopretty common on UNIXes; you can also have forward slashes in filenames. They just have to be escaped to differentiate.
- hmry 2y agoI don't know of any Unix that allows forward slashes in file names. On macOS you can use : which is displayed as / in Finder, but in exchange you can't put a : in file names...
- KETHERCORTEX 2y agoThat's a great way to drive someone insane. 1. Put some of the forbidden symbols in the file names of, let's say, a bunch of photos. 2. ZIP them 3. Send to someone who ordered those photos with Windows/Linux computer. 4. An hour later tell them that everything works on your computer and you don't see the problem. As a bonus you can film unpacking the zip file and saying: "You see, it works. There's something wrong with your computer".
