Linux use a \ as an escape character what that means is when you are trying to copy a character that Linux doesn't understand you precede it by the \ like \? this is best described by others like the description by the following site https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/299667/how-to-deal-with-characters-like-or-that-make-invalid-filenames

The ? is a special character that has significance in bash, You can work with it by escaping it with \

ie:

touch test\?

will make the file:

test?

and you can move it with

mv test\? /new/loction/test\?

Edit: The same for any special character, such as .

You also need it for file names that contain spaces

this is a file

would have to be moved with:

mv this\ is\ a\ file <location>

Hello all,

That's probably not a Trinity problem, but I'd love to solve it under Trinity.

I recently ordered a double CD with music from Albinoni (not that he has
anything to do with my problem).

When I inserted the CD it mounted and, to my amazement, I saw that there were
directories with compresed files, including ogg-vorbis files (which is the
format I store my music in).

However, the amazement was short-lived. All these files have names as:

Albinoni, Tomaso - 01 - Concerto No. 1 for Violin in B flat major, Op. 9%2F1:
1. Allegro.ogg

And konqueror does not manage to copy them.

I can rip them with k3b, but I find it frustrating that the files are there
and I can't use them :)
