Un-deletable folder
« on: November 20, 2017, 08:19:56 am »
Had another undeletable folder created recently from recording TV.  Anything that ends with '...' can not be deleted by normal means.  An episode of The Flash created a folder named "The Flash - S04E06 - When Harry Met Harry...", so I can't delete it.  I have to run a command line on it. the command is documented in this thread:

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,104411.0.html

There was another thread where it was stated that a folder wouldn't be created with a '...' at the end, but it is obviously still happening.  Can this be fixed?

I would swear I eliminated the "...".  How did it creep back in >:(

Was this the result of some special operations, such as "Rename, Move, & Copy", or automatic tagging after recording (in recording rule), etc.?

Also, did you check if the folder name actually ends with "..." (three consecutive '.') or "…", the ASCII ellipsis character (a single character)?

It was the .jtv recording folder (I record in .ts).

I don't know if it was the ascii character or not.  Not sure if it maintains that formatiing, but I copied and pasted the folder name into the post above.

The title would have come from an XMLTV file (Schedules Direct).  Not impossible that it was the ASCII code, but I would think it unlikely.

If you copied and pasted, then it is not a single character.

Yes, I assumed it was part of the original title, but I assume you could detect a trailing period and either delete it, or change it (I would opt for deleting it).  As I understand it, it doesn't have to be an elipse, it could be just a single period that would also cause the same issue.

I have made some changes to take care of this situation.  Yeah, it escaped detection.
