Bug #1778
IOException not caught for ship names containing "?"
100%
Description
What Happens:
As the screenshot below shows, KSP fails catch the IOException thrown by Windows when the user tries to save a ship where said ship's name contains a question mark. As a result, the ship/subassembly fails to save to file without alerting the user.
- Open a new ship or load a previously saved ship
- In the field for that ship's name, enter any string containing at least one question mark character
- Press the save button
| QuestionMarkTest.png (550 KB) QuestionMarkTest.png | The other files in the screenshot show that KSP catches all illegal filename characters with the exception of the question mark character. |
