DA File Manager

[toml]

FYI

I have noticed that the DA file manager doesn't seem to be able to handle files with embedded commas in them (i.e. Dovecot maildir files). No matter what operation I try on those file names, I get an error similar to this:
/Maildir/cur/1248291598.H970291P26344.jax2.electropopmedia.org:2,S is not a valid path

Clicking on the filename to view it or trying to rename the file, also gives the same error.

Most programs will have problems with commas.

But the interface could be coded to work around those problems. If it is a valid character for a filename, then there shouldn't be a limitation on doing an operation on that filename. I have had to do that to many of the programs I work on.

Theres no reason you should be editing maildir files anyways.

That is still not the point, if it is a valid filename then there is no reason it shouldn't work. You shouldn't be speeding, but people do it all the time

Ok well then its gonna have to be a feature request because I see no information about it anywhere. Doesnt work on my system either.

 

[toml]

That was the only reason I posted it here. It is a "bug" that should be fixed sometime in the future. I was easily able to get around the problem, it just required me to jump through a few extra hoops.

Hello,

DirectAdmin is strict first, then we allow special character on a case-by-case basis. I wasn't able to see any reason why the comma would hurt something so I've added it as valid for the next release.

Don't feel bad, John... there are some command line programs out there which don't properly understand commas or colons, both of which are valid filename characters.
