[Slogger] Slogger log files don't correct invalid characters in filenames

[Greg Lowney]

Hi! Thanks for producing Slogger, which has been immensely helpful to me.
 
I was wondering about one problem I'm encountering running Slogger 1.5.11 on
Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows XP SP1: Most of the Local links in the Slogger Log
files don't work, because they use the filename before illegal characters
were converted to underscores and single-quotes. 
 
For example, Slogger saved a Web page whose Title includes double-quotes,
which are illegal in Windows filenames. Somewhere along the line, probably
by Firefox, the double-quotes are changed to single-quotes before the file
is saved to disk with the following name:
 

2005-11-29_21.34.43 seattletimes.nwsource.com The Seattle Times Timmy of
'South Park' challenges viewers' attitudes about people with
disabilities.html

 
However, clicking the Local link associated with this file in the Slogger
Log page gives the following error:
 

"The file /D:/websites/Slogger/data/2005-11-29/2005-11-29_21.34.43
seattletimes.nwsource.com The Seattle Times: Timmy of "South Park"
challenges viewers' attitudes about people with disabilities.html cannot be
found. Please check the location and try again."

 
As you can see, Slogger's log file still lists the filename with
double-quotes. Is there any easy way to fix or work around this? If Firefox
won't tell you the actual file name it uses, you could probably perform the
simple translation yourself, either automatically or as an option.
 
    Thanks,
    Greg
