Normal topicGetting rid of »bad« characters in filenames / directories

When synthesizing filenames / directories via rename templates to move files or create symlinks, it can happen, that the filename contains characters like »?«, which are fine on Mac, but will lead to problems on Windows. Is there a possibility to remove such characters from the generated filename?

E.g. my album is called »Really?«, I run the move-action, which generates a filename like this for me »Some Good Artist - Really?/01 Some Track.mp3« Is there a way to make Yate replace all characters which are not save for Windows / Mac / Linux? I saw there is the setting »Invalid Character Substitution« but you cannot change the chacaters which will be substituted (currently : and / only).

Just discovered the replacements-option in settings. Is every option which manipulates filenames (move, create symlink) affected by this?
