Viewing a file with forbidden characters in names inside the archive

[Fla$her]

1. Open any non-empty zip and add 4 colons in front of the filename. You can see that the 4th colon is automatically replaced by '_'.
2. By pressing Ctrl+Q, you can see the message "Error writing ...\Temp\_tc\$q\:_name.ext!". If F3, then "File not found!" will be added.
3. After clicking OK, a header with the original name :::_name.ext will appear in the target panel, but a question mark will be displayed along with the display of the content (including in a plugin).
4. When you press 4 in the target panel, the change to wlx plugins does not occur.

I think it's right to replace all such characters in the Temp folder for a successful browse.

Sorry, it's not possible to view files with such forbidden names. Just rename them first.

What do you say about this?

Well, TC handles the case where a path contains a colon from a drive. That's usually one colon. It cannot currently handle arbitrary invalid names, sorry.

And which packers add a letter with a colon? TC itself, with the first option marked, doesn't do this for a list with different drive letters.

If I was only interested in the current moment, then I would not have applied to this section. Therefore, I suggest improving the behavior and processing such characters fully not at the stage of renaming in the archive, but at the stage of unpacking to the Temp folder, given that such characters can get there from another file system.

You can check the name with the RegExp: ^[A-z]:\\. If it does, then process it as it is now, if not, then replace it with '_' or delete.

For example, 7zip with parameter -spf or WinRAR with parameter -ep3 .

It's clear. Will you be able to debug it with RegExp?

No, sorry, I don't plan to find all possible invalid characters.
