Re: [Swftools-common] ERROR only one % allowed in filename

Lists,

obviously if I had the choice to avoid urlencoded folder
I will do it, but no way to change this.
if shouldn't be comp;licated to patch it, with first thing change
the message error that mixes filename and foldename which I think
is not really accurate.
can you point me which source file it needs to patch ? I'm trying to do it

Regards

Franck
