[0.8.0-A1] Winx dot issue

Post by Dwars »

Sabnzb allows the creation of folders with a (.) dot ;) at the end. Windows cannot handle files or dirs that end with a dot. (no issue for mac)
To del a folder with a dot ending, you need to use the command line rd /s \\?\.

Hope you can easily recreate en fix the problem.
cheers !

I'll see what I can do to support this sub-par OS :)

Do you happen to have a scenario that shows this issue?
(Like an NZB and a specific name, source of the NZB.)
SABnzbd already does its best to remove trailing dots for all operating systems.
