Strange behaviour just now in the save as dialogue of the newest firefox

Hi,
I just downloaded some chapters to read off-line later.
While doing so I found out that firefox ads _ after the authors name and the chapters number.
Edge does it too.
How can I change that?
I know delete it before pressing save.
I know this, but I mean there can I get the old file name format bach without the _ in it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to all the great authors for their hard work.
Also thanks to Lazeez Jiddan for making this great site for us all.

File name preferences:

[ ] Story Title / Author Name
[x] Author Name / Story Title

[x] Prepend Universe/Series name to filename

[ ] Safe file names (no spaces)
Example: story_name@author_name.epub

[x] Normal file names (may contain spaces)
Example: Story Name - Author Name.epub

[x] Add chapter range to zip files download names

With this option the names of downloaded files will be in the format:
StoryTitle@AuthorName[xx-xx]

------------------

Note that if you want to automate the unzip if a story name contains a " - " I'm not sure you can still separate the author from the title correctly.

Hi Gauthier,
thanks for the tip. But it seems these options premier member only.
A free member only gets to choose between:
a) Author Name: Story Title: Chapter xx
b) Story Title by Author Name: Chapter xx
If you choose option a) like I did you seem to get _ instead of nothing (behaviour until Monday) because : is a forbidden character and Windows substitute them with an underscore.

Sorry, I saw download in your post. You are in fact just saving the chapter page current DOM. The problems is due to the : in the title. You could run a script at the console to modify the title before saving.

document.title = document.title.replace(/:/g,' ');

@Gauthier

the illegal char in windows are < : > " / | ? *
For FAT32, add ^
For One drive you need to add , # & ~ to the list.

So the correct sanitization if you want to avoid any _ or sync issues would be

document.title = document.title.replace(/\:|\"|\/|\\|\?|\*|\^|\,|\#|\&|\~/g,' ');

Note that firefox own sanitisation will replace multiple space by a single space.

I added a hack to the system that helps only in firefox. Try now.

Thanks for the help.
Now it ads - to all blanc spaces and writes everthimg in lower-case and the title ist cut-off. Only the chapter number is still in the filename.
Both would the before and after the hack versions. I was just spucked by the sudden change over night.
Thanks again Lazeez for your great and hard work to provide us with this great sites by wlpc.

It's not from the site. Whatever changed, it changed on your end. The last time that I changed anything to do with story titles was few years ago.

Sorry if I said something that could be interpreted wrongly.
I didn't mean you or the site as such did something wrong.
I just wanted to express my feeling of beenig surprised that for me from going to bed and the next time I'm online something seemed to be going wrong and I couldn't figure out why.

Just been back to the site all is back to normal.
No more underscores no upper-case to lower-case or missing chapter tiles.
