I imaged C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) today and Ekos capture module tries to give this to the filename, resulting in the image file being placed under the directory C and named "2017 T2 (PANSTARRS)_Light_UVIR_600_secs_001.fits". Is this a bug or a feature?
On Unix based systems (of which both Linux and MacOS are examples) the forward slash is a delimiter which is used to separate directory names and file names from each other, e.g. /home/stellarmate/Pictures. In general forward slashes should be avoided in filenames. Having said that, they MAY be used so I think that in this case it is a bug. Perhaps Jasem can say more about this.
Great photo! That's a bug as far as I'm concerned... what would be the best option? Just remove the forward slash? or replace it with maybe a dash '-' ?
Ok I just introduced name sanitation. This affected a few places including scheduler. Please pull from GIT master and test. Hopefully this doesn't lead to any regressions.
So the above bug was about having invalid names in the object name which is used to set the prefix in the sequence queue. I added regex to remove any characters that could lead to unsupported filenames like ":" under Windows for example... though no target has ":" in it but it's better to be safe.
