[Minor?] Better error messages
On Linux (Arch) and backing up to an exFAT drive, which has different rules for invalid path chars.
Took a long time (as a new user who had to go hunting for the logs) to figure out why 90% of my books failed to back up just as the download hit 100%. Would've been super handy to have the exception text right in the error dialog. (And maybe for that specific IO error a note to configure the rules in the settings.)
Another cool way to handle this would be to have checkboxes in the settings to automatically apply OS-specific rules, like one for FAT, Linux, MacOS, and NTFS. If you check two OSes, it'll automatically create a substitution so that the resulting paths will work on any of the checked OSes.
