[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIIDDES-1857) Create and implement a cross-platform file name validator

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Max Rydahl Andersen commented on TEIIDDES-1857: ----------------------------------------------- I like the idea of a general validator but we should be careful to not make this too complicated for something that is after all a corner case. i.e. don't add ui component that validates with tons of checkboxes for each os type since the os type is just one part of this; also mixed case files can be a concern depending if the file system allows it or not (which is not dependent on the OS). Better would in my mind be that users gets *warned* about common issues for other OS's than the one running: i.e. using special characters like # is possible on osx/mac but is okey on linux. Then just have the UI state something like "Warning: Sh$T #p.vmd is possible on this OS, but is not a portable file name on <OS that has issues> because # is not allowed." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
