greetings.

file names with a quote (for example, the possessive) are not handled correctly.
the best way to deal with them is to quote or escape them when downloading. or even delete them, which many
uploaders do in the first place.

an example:
viewtopic.php?f=1346&t=5216854

The file name on upload.rar is, apparently:

John Muir's Yosemite by Tony Perrottet.epub

It downloads as
John_Muir
(with no file extension.) (Which makes loading it using a reader which is
sensitive to extension a pain.)

thanks and stay safe.

yes, i am aware that i can rename the file. but it is a bug to not preserve the file name by quoting it or escaping the quote, and it is an even bigger
usability problem to not preserve the file extension (.pdf, .epub, etc.) since so much software depends on the file extension to handle the file
properly.

so i suggest whoever reads these things open a ticket and eventually fix it.
