Gui DVDauthor 1.07 animation filename can't handle commas

[rodp]

Hi All,

Just getting to grips with animation and animated buttons when I came across an issue in that GUI Dvdauthor doesn't like commas in the filenames. Wierd but true! If you have a comma in, upon preparing the preview it throws an error saying 'couldn't open input file in hide mode! Exiting'. The preview then doesn't work.

Just thought I'd mention it as it doesn't seem that it's been noted already.

Cheers

Rod

Interesting. Thanks for the tidbit. There's something here that I find even more fascinating: a person who actually puts commas in file names. I've never done that, and I never knew anyone who had. I guess it's just a carryover from the old DOS-command days that no one should ever do that.

In general, I never put any punctuation, or spaces, in filenames.
A lot of command line software (as are part of GfD) just choke on them.
