Problem using . (dot) in directory name

Postby goune » Wed Jun 02, 2004 10:41 pm

Hi !

I've got the same problem twice with naming my directory 'Something...' as downloading destination.
The created directory (strangely named 'Something..' - notice the missing dot at the end) is created, and may contain the images, but become unreacheable !

The first time I lost my pictures because I wasn't using Copy transfer,

This other issue refers to directory naming :

I'm using 4.1.0 and win XP. and haven't seen modification concerning this problem in the changelog.

hope it'll be fixed soon !

Seems a limitation of Windows. I tried creating a directory called "Test..." and Windows automatically removes all the trailing dots at the end of the name.

Upcoming cam2pc 4.3.4 now does the same (without any warning...).
