8.17. File and Folder Names

8.17.1. Unix and Linux

Folder / file names that contain only space characters are fully supported on Linux and Unix systems. Names containing leading or trailing spaces are preserved as is.

Names can contain ASCII characters or Unicode names encoded using UTF-8. Other character encoding schemes are not supported yet.

Note

If you require to handle names using a character encoding scheme other than UTF-8, please contact us.

8.17.2. Windows

On Windows, leading and trailing spaces from file names are stripped by the operating system. Due to this, names with only space characters are converted into names with no characters, invalidating them.

ASCII and Unicode characters are supported.
