Highlights ending with ... has a missing folder/file error #710
Comments
Thanks for reporting. Indeed, creating a folder containing ".." or "..." in the name does not always work on Windows.
Maybe the dots in "..." should be replaced by another character that is not invalid in filenames and does not collide with characters that might occur in highlight titles, such as "-". There is also #576 with an idea of how we could approach this. |
It just does not always work, it never works with dots at the end of a folder name in Windows. |
If this can't be fixed by replacing the dots would it be possible to make instaloader at least continue and not just quit with this error? |
Describe the bug

To Reproduce
Download any highlights ending in ...
Expected behavior
Well rename the folder and ignore the ..
