#604 filename colon rule cannot be reverted to original value
In the File Naming preferences menu it is not possible to change a filename special character back to its original value. For example, on macOS 14.5 if I change the colon ":" to be replaced with something else, and then I realize that colon is valid and I want to change it back to its original value of ":", the GUI will not let me.
Seen in Version 20240511 (157.1)
I have a gripe with this rule too. Unix filesystems (HFS included) typically do not attach any special meaning to the colon character and in my experience the replacement glyphs from extended character sets (also for the slash) cause enough problems themselves to prefer something less fancy from the good old ASCII range.
