Summary0002920: ContentTitleText should probably be only [A-Za-z0-9]
Description

Currently punctuation becomes part of the CTT, like ".". I can't find a reference but it should probably be excluded.

Also a nice feature would be to transliterate non-english latin characters like unidecode ( https://github.com/avian2/unidecode ) does. E.g. for Swedish characters:

ä -> a
å -> a
ö -> o

Etc.

Thanks!

Sorry, i should have written that this applies to the title element of the CTT. As a whole, of course also "_" and "-" are allowed. (But not anything else?)

Perhaps . should be on the "banned" list, but I think everything else already works...?

The current state is that transliteration should happen and the allowed characters are

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_.+

Ok, looks mostly good!

Suggested improvements for CTT character restrictions:

Recommend globally prohibiting "." and "+" characters because:

  • Using "." could create unintended file extensions when CTT is used in filenames
  • "+" may cause compatibility issues with certain filesystems

Suggest banning "_" from individual fields since it serves as the field delimiter in CTT format

Also, I think I found a related bug: When having a title with non-ascii characters and using the "Copy as name" button, the transliteration gets reversed! Eg. "a" gets turned back to "å" etc.
