Who says that THAT is expected?

It's up to the user to tell the tool what he want.
It's not that good for a file manager to be that smart and do things I don't have tell him to do (adding a underscore where a space may fit better)




But maybe a INI-setting would be a possible solution, like

ReplaceInvalidCharsBy=
ReplaceInvalidCharsBy=" "
ReplaceInvalidCharsBy="_"

for the Shift+F4 and F7 feature?

Since they're already such smartness in TC:
History.txt wrote:18.05.16 Fixed: Unpacker, invalid names in archive:
04.12.09 Added: Decode files: Replace invalid characters in file name like ":" by underscores "_"
13.01.09: Fixed: Command line, "cd" command: Detect and remove invalid constructs
Help > Settings in the file wincmd.ini wrote:MrtReplacePluginChars=1
0: Turns off auto-replacement of invalid characters from plugins in the multi-rename tool

At least the F7-dialog shouldn't just disappear without giving the user the change to modify the string! as it is right now :cry:

[mod]Horst.Epp,
It would be really nice if you were more polite to people.
If not, a seven-day ban will follow.

Thank you for understanding.
