Idea: Allow config for variable title character replace for illegal windows filename characters

[jmtornetta]

06/02/2022 Update

Looks like illegal filename characters are being replaced but they are mostly being changed to '-' which erodes meaning.

I would suggest allow the user to map character replacements in the .json config. Some examples of what I might change these to:

: => ;
" => `
> => -gt
< => -lt

Hi @jmtornetta , Thank you for this idea, it makes sense, but we have to take into count that we can pick only those characters which are allowed by the OS within a filename.

Good point.

Yep this is essential I think. YARLE is replacing my (>) characters with (_) and there's no way to turn it off. A character substitution map would be very helpful. Also some way of pointing out which characters are not allowed by Obsidian.md because they affect links.
