Adding quotes to file names to prevent adding an extension most probably

And if I want to have those quotes as part of the filename (valid on
many file systems)? Will you also support an escape mechanism, so that
typing
"foo"
is treated different from typing
\"foo\"
? ;)
Hi Stephan,
In Windows, quotes in the filename are taken as name delimiters only and not
saved as part of the filename. They are not valid filename characters in
Windows. I guess that a large part of the problem is taking into account how
different OSs deal with filenames.
Most programs follow this rule. Most also will append their standard extension
if there is no valid extension. I use a non-standard (i.e. not recognized
internally by the software) for my pcb layouts. The extension is registered with
Windows, so the program default extension is never added.
