When trying to do an upload with IME, a file with a '~' in it's name makes probs. The uploadmanager does the upload (it could be seen when looking into the dir with ftp) , but the file isn't displayed in the filearea. So it is not selectable for further use.

can you please fix this bug.

~ characters should be avoided within filenames:

Hi,
if I read this well, there is only a warning for using a '~' in URL's.

Meanwhile the warning is resolved.

In my case it is used in filenames.

Hi Ryan,
I would like to describe to you again what the background of my issue is.
I have an image file that was saved to my home drive (Synology NAS) from my cell phone. When saved, this image file is given a file name that contains a '~' - e.g. 20201005-183145-1~2.jpg. The file can also be easily viewed and processed on a Windows 10 system.

If I want to integrate this image file into my website, then the following happens:

I start JCE Image Manager Extended (IME) by right-clicking to the pic and selecting "Insert / edit image" in the pop-up window. IME runs automatically to the upload-dir. Then I use the upload button to call up the upload function.
From my home drive I now drag the image file from the NAS into the upload window.
It appears then there as an entry in the list.

If I then press ok, the upload will start in the background. The screen twitches briefly and shows the selected upload directory with. The file that has just been uploaded cannot be seen.
If I look at the upload directory on the web server with an FTP program (Filezilla), then I can see the file there. The JCE upload seems to be working.
There was also no indication of any file name incompatibility during the upload.

Only the file is not displayed in the file manager window.

If I manually insert the file into the fields of the popup, it will be processed properly by Joomla when it is saved and the image will also be displayed on the website.

As it is now, however, the impression arises, that JCE is working incorrectly. It was the same with me. It took a while to analyze the problem because JCE has unfortunately not issued a notice either.

It would therefore be very helpful to output a message for the user when uploading, to automatically correct or even suppress the upload of files with invalid characters in the file name.

Currently this is a JCE bug that - however - should be fixed.

My wish would be to enable the display of the file in the file manager so that the further processing of the file in Joomla can be carried out without further changes.
This - for me - seams to be the easiest way .

Thanks for now.
