IDAS Save Manager v1.0.1

v1.0.1

🛠️ Added invalid character detection for all save files
Now, if a save file contains invalid characters (e.g. : * ? < > |), the program will automatically prompt the user to rename the save using valid characters.

This also fixes a potential crash (unhandled exception) when saves with invalid names were processed.
