Re: Problems renaming using caption-abstract
Hi Darryl,

It is likely there are some odd characters in the caption that Windows doesn't like. (I think your instinct about linefeeds was a good one, but there are other characters that could cause problems too.) Try using the -v3 option to see exactly what the caption-abstract contains. If this is the problem, you could consider creating a user-defined tag to filter out the bad characters and reformat the filename if necessary.
