Tilde in directories

[derekbez]

Maybe this is one for the Wiki:

You can't use ~ (tilde) in pathnames for Directories. (I use them force some folders to the top of the sort order. eg: c:\~pics and c:\~music)

GBPVR uses the ~ character as a separator, and so crashes the program.

If you have already entered a directory with a tilde, you may have to edit the config.xml file. Recommend just removing the offending line so you can at least run the config.exe again.

Hope this helps...

Bad Aunty 'Tilda!

try using a . as first char to place dir at beginning...
like \.movies\
as we know everything can handle them, and nearly nothing uses it as a first char so should always be at top...
or a number etc...
yea, those special chars can be a pain...watch out for brackets too...[]{}()

Yeah, I'm aware of this. It's been this way for a couple of years, so it'll probably just be easier to rename your directories that wait for a fix.
