![]() There are examples of scripts to automate tackling such problems, there are also tools that can for example convert names between encodings (another issue you can meet: win12xx of windows vs utf8 in ubuntu)Ĭommunity time is better spent elsewhere, so we can have a better system overall, not a more-compatible-with-windows one. If you have some itch, sometimes you have to scratch it yourself - google and a bit of reading is all you need, really. The problem is that you expect too much from the community that works largely for free. ![]() But are you sure that " * : ? \ are the only noncompatible characters? I have a feeling there are more.
