View Full Version : Invalid characters in input directory path

I just discovered Auto GK last week. Great program! One minor irritation:

I frequently receive this error message when selecting the Input Directory (DVD Input mode) in Auto GK 1.60: "Input directory path contains invalid characters. Please select another one."

I get that message when selecting a folder that was created by DVD Decrypter. Here is one example of a folder that it doesn't like:

20-The Hidden Memory (S01, 2000-01-14, Ep020, Prod#10120)

I've tried removing the #, the left and right parens, retyping the spaces in case there were undisplayable garbage characters there, etc. Nothing works. Size doesn't seem to be a problem either, since a folder of all x's with the same length works fine. Other similarly-named files do work, and other ones do not. I cannot see a pattern.

Is this a known problem? (I didn't find it by searching the forums.) Is it fixed in a later release? Any thoughts are appreciated!

Commas in the files names are not supported as they are used as separators in CLI of DGIndex (program that is launched by AutoGK).

Ah! Thank you very much. I am actually able to make the filenames look the way I want them to (with commas) but was having trouble choosing a folder name with commas. I will adjust my process now. :-D

Thanks again!
