File names with commas

Posted Wed, 07/30/2008 - 05:46 by DukeofAnkh

When trying to copy my lecture slides onto my iPhone, I discovered, after much Finder crashing, that TouchFS doesn't like filenames with commas, underscores and periods (and possibly other punctuation, though hyphens were ok). They don't copy over properly, making finder hang and when I try to view them on my iPhone, it just opens a blank document (pdf).

We've fixed issues with quotes in file names for our next update...I'll make sure our fix also works with the characters you've mentioned as well before releasing it next week.  Thank you for pointing this out.

      

    

      

  







      
Non-English file/folder names support

Let me add one request concerning the filename restriction. Please support non-English characters,  such as Japanese, in filenames and folder names. Current TouchFS can copy non-English filenames/folders to ipod/iphone but the names are changed to unreadable ones and I cannot rename or delete these files/foldes.

Thanks,

We'll be looking into this for a future update.  Would you happen to have some sample (small) files we can test with?  If so, please send them to our support email address.
