Can you specify filename conforming pattern?

[johannesdedoper]

Hello Italy!

Hope your well!
Just noticed that sometimes files are not added to the queue.
Seems to be a filename issue.
Can you please give me the conforming_pattern?
eg. conforming_pattern='^[A-Za-z0-9_-.]+$' so I can make a small script checking this?
This way I can change the filenames that are not accepted.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers, J.

Hello!

I'm fine thanks, I hope the same for you!

Yes, files are not added when they have the following incompatibilities:

• illegal characters like: ^ ` ~ " # % & * : < > ? / \\ { | }
• File without extension.
• Files already imported in the File List.
• Directory import.
• File contains non-UTF-8 encoded characters ('utf-8' codec can't decode byte...). To solve this problem there is a workaround here Chars encoder #297 related to issue Files with encodings other than utf-8 unicode are not imported at all #294

In all these cases a window would be shown with the list of rejected files and the related error status. Can you confirm this please?

Thnx for your reply.

Yes, you are correct! Sorry, I did see the popup but did not scroll to the right to look at the complete notification.
It does say illegal characters are: ^ ` ~ " # % & * : < > ? / \ { | }
Anyway, I now know what will work and what will not.
BTW, the manage queue files feature sounds a very nice addition.

Cheers,
J.
