    Hey,

    I just experienced a minor bug with putting scenes, chasers etc. in a group:
    When you name your group and use a ' / ' in the name this messes up the folderstructure when selecting a funtion when assigning it to a e.g. a button.
    In the window that appears when selecting the function for the button QLC makes a new folder out of every part of the foldername that is divided by a ' / '.

    This is not a big problem but it is irritating when creating many folders and then creating all the buttons because you don't find your functions right away.

    I hope you understand the problem.

    Best regards,
    Daniel :)

    Slash and other reserved characters than cannot be used in paths, directories or file names in OSx, Linux and windows. I think these reserved characters cannot be used in a functions, groups and others objects names used in QLC+.
    I think that is not a QLC+ malfunction.

    Yes that's right but there should be some kind of blockade when entering one of those reserved characters into a e.g. functionname so it is not confusing.
    I needed a few minutes to realise that my foldernames were split up and that I had to look for a separate folder for the second part of my name.

    The malfunction in my opinion is that QLC let's you enter them but then screws up when working with these reserved characters. It should be somehow made clear that they are not useable, that would not be a problem at all. :)
