Description Lukas Hasik 2003-04-17 11:49:53 UTC 
new names should be checked if they doesn't
contain these characters.
Comment 1 Petr Jiricka 2003-04-22 08:19:35 UTC 
Why that ? Specifically, I think '/' on Unix and '\' and ':' on
Windows should be allowed, and should be interpreted as one would
expect. So, if I type c:\folder1\folder2, then folder1 under c:\ and
folder2 under c:\folder1 should be created.

Also, this would be consistent with the behavior of creation of new
Java packages, where you can also create package com.foo.bar.
Comment 2 Lukas Hasik 2003-04-22 09:09:48 UTC 
OK, '\' and '/' make sense (and it works in some cases - New folder)
when it's interpreted as you described but what about case as in
#31484 - This one should not be allowed.
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2003-12-17 23:07:39 UTC 
FWIW, this is also platform-specific - for example, VMS has special
uses for [ and ]...
Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-01-06 09:10:01 UTC 
No changes planned to 3.6.
