Is there a way to put a colon in show title and the episode such as Gilligan's Island:Two on a Raft. Can this be done??: John

On Mac and Linux: YES
On Windows: NO

You could try replacing COLON with RATIO though. Should look pretty much the same.

Ratio? Where's Ratio? How about changing the font and color?

1.
RATIO (http://unicode-table.com/en/2236/) is a character different from COLON (http://unicode-table.com/en/003A/) so Windows might allow it.


2.
Do filenames support fonts and colors? I highly doubt that. :lol:

Please use {s00e00} standard naming.

:idea: If you use some strange non-standard non-ASCII naming pattern it'll most certainly come back to haunt you some time down the line.

I usually use 1x01 then use filebot to name it that way. Can I split a show name with a {n.colon('\u2336'} in the middle ? such as diagnosis:murder? And I also like to put a {'\u2336'} between the season and episode, can this be done?
