  • Illegal file name prompt?

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Sun Aug 8 21:26:53 2021
    Hello g00r00!

    When attempting to download an archive member from some "non-built-in" archive type, and specifying an illegal file name ("disallowed" paths), shouldn't Mystic be displaying prompt #69 as a response to the attempt?

    As it is now, it just re-displays the archive viewer prompt.

    Just a thought. :)

    Best regards

    Prompt 69 is displayed during the file upload command when its not using the blind batch mode. If the user enters a filename that contains invalid characters it displays and aborts the upload. I noticed it doesn't have a description in the editor for that prompt so I will add a description.

    I could make it display in the archive viewer too in that circumstation if you'd like, or I could also add a new prompt for that which is similar. I am open to suggestions as to whether or not it should be its own unique prompt.

    ... A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf!

    It is probably better to create a new prompt for it, with an appropriate description -- that way it is more flexible, even though I suspect most people won't bother to make them differ. :)

    Yeah that makes sense. There are I think 4 unused prompts in the current prompts.dat so I can repurpose one of those.
