Windows have some restrictions about chars in the filenames: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368590(v=vs.85).aspx Reproduce: Open any LibreOffice application, go to File->Save as, type in "File name:" field: test_/.odg test_|.odg test_>.odg test_<.odg test_:.odg test_".odg You get proper warning that LO can't save the file -> http://wstaw.org/m/2011/06/05/1.png Bugs: Filenames: "test_?.odg" or "test_*.odg" -> is not showing any kind of warning nor saving file. I guess it is related to the regexp/filter files stuff with Windows Dialogs (for example typing *.txt should show only .txt files), but it would be nice that LO would generate some kind of warning for users. Someone just tried to save file named "Questions?.odt" and reported "I can't save a file, nothing happends!". Filename: "test_\.odg" is generating diffrent warning - related to the path: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/06/05/2.png I am not sure that how LO should react to the filenames with \ in name. Filename: "\test_.odg" saves file in the C:\ rather than place where you pick it via mouse (Let's say I pick up: "C:\Documents\MyDocuments\blallblblalbla\LO\files\"). No idea if it could be harmful on Linux machines where \ is root directory ;) LibreOffice installed via LibO_3.3.2_Win_x86_install_multi on Windows 7
