Renaming with question marks

[solid]

Start inplace rename (Shift+F6)
Somewhere into filename enter questionmark(s) '?'
Press enter.

Is this a intentional behaviour or a bug?

Hi solid,
please refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#naming_conventions

in short:
reserved characters which may not be used in file names:
< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

What's the intent?

in short:
reserved characters which may not be used in file names:

wollei, I'm aware of that, but have you tried the steps? It is not the same behaviour as in explorer, which doesn't allow questionmarks at all[/quote]

solid, TC allows to use wildcards * and ? while renaming (just like batch ren/move commands). Explorer doesn't allow to use such feature.

E.g. rename mask gong?.* contains gong, 5th char from source name (instead of ?) and entire source extension (instead of *).
