After a recent update I noted that the method to correct invalid characters in package names seems to have changed. This is causing some problems.

In the past, if a package contained "forbidden" characters, these were replaced by underscores.

For example, a package from created from this page would be named as:
"https_board.jdownloader.org_newthread"

However now the forbidden characters are replaced by some unicode(?) characters that, while looking similar to the forbidden ones, play havoc with post processing.

They appear as: "https;⁄⁄board.jdownloader.org⁄newthread"

Is there a setting I can use to cause JD2 to revert to the prior naming methods and just replace with underscores?

Many thanks!

@Wheezer: Please see https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...72&postcount=2 for the cleanup

For the replacement, the following feature has been implemented, see https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...24&postcount=4
now you can customize the replacment by yourself and default is replacment by unicode chars so the *information* is not lost because previously everyhing had been replaced with "_"
Solution: customize the map to your own needs

Ah yes, I saw that in the settings and considered it as a solution.

Many thanks and I apologize for asking a question that was already answered.
It was a quick and easy fix.

Thanks!

Nothing to be sorry for, you had a question/issue and I just answered

Hi

In the LinkGrabber window, I try to insert a dot ('.') character into the package name, but it is immediately converted to a space character. Where can I find the option to turn this off?

best regards,
R.

OK, thank you.

However, I am curious why these two characters were treated differently than the rest. Why are they not covered by the setting: GeneralSettings.packagenamereplacemap ?

best regards,
R.

@r-n-l: because one is to replace forbidden chars, the other is legacy cleanup and does exactly what it did before, just replace "." and "_"
