Possible Rename Bug

Not sure if this is a bug or not but when I use the rename option with the CLI it seems to mess up the spacing with certain titles with a "-" for example

Thor - God of Thunder.cbz is rename to

Thor- God of Thunder.cbz. (note the missing space)

Seems to happen pretty consistent. I've upgraded to the latest 1.17 beta and it still seems to do it.

Thanks!

The actual series is called "Thor: God of Thunder". Notice the : which is a reserved meta character on most file systems and cant be used.

So CT is replacing the : with a -.

So it is not really a bug but expected behavious.

Hope this help.

As anomander said, it's not a bug, per se. However, I wonder if instead of this:

":" becoming "-"

it should be this:

":" becoming " -"

This would have the effect of "Thor: God of Thunder" being changed to "Thor - God of Thunder". This might have a weird effect if there was text that had a colon wit a space in front of it, but would that ever happen, in any language?

If anyone else has an opinion on this, please share. I don't mind changing that mapping at all.

Yes, I see that it is replacing the illegal character thanks, that clarifies things a bit. I agree, I think that " - " seems more correct than "- ".

In fact, the scraper script that I use in comicrack uses the format of " - ". I think that is why I caught it. I had renamed a few comics using both comictagger and comicrack and the difference jumped out at me after I listed out the files in the command line.
