Bug copying files from host to virtual machine on VMware workstation
I found another bug whilst testing Windows files on my virtual test environment.
I made a folder on my host machine which contains a couple of test files as follows:
C:\aAéü1 !#$%&'()-.@^_`{}~£©™\aAéü1 !#$%&'()+,-.;=@[]^_`{}~£©™.txt
C:\aAéü1 !#$%&'()-.@^_`{}~£©™\aAéü1 !#$%&'()+,-.;=@^_`{}~£©™.txt
I then dragged and dropped the folder onto my virtual machine and was shocked to see that a square bracket had been inserted into both file names!
C:\aAéü1 !#$%&'()-.@^_`{}~£©™\aAéü1 !#$]%&'()+,-.;=@[]^_`{}~£©™.txt
C:\aAéü1 !#$%&'()-.@^_`{}~£©™\aAéü1 !#$]%&'()+,-.;=@^_`{}~£©™.txt
These particular file names are obscure but I do wonder if this could happen in circumstances with more conventional file names that happen to include characters that trigger this bug!
