Renaming Changes : To / Inside OS X

I just downloaded 'Filebot' for my MacBook Pro / OS X Mavericks & pumped three movies and selected a database source and changed the names of the files. However when I view the files in OS X, they appear to have a / in between the movie name and the title, it shows up as:

Movie/ Title.mp4 instead of Movie: Title.mp4. When I view the files in the command line, they appear correct:

Code: Select all

[iamunix:movies]$ ls -l *.mp4
-rwx------@ 1 carlos  users   735323108 Sep  2 20:08 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.mp4
-rwx------@ 1 carlos  users  1528755813 Sep  7 13:20 X-Men: First Class.mp4
However in OS X, the files appears as the attached screenshot...

Is there a way to fix this? I've not seen this before / read the FAQ / and never used this utility before today.

Looks like Finder doesn't like colon. Ask Google for details. If FileBot can rename files with colon then I'm sure FileBot can also revert files with colon (Rename History -> Revert) or just use Console to strip colons from filenames.

Next time FileBot proposes to remove invalid characters, just let it ;)
