hmmm..the description flags aren't used at all for any filecreation. The profiler uses it to display it in the profilerwindow.....it could be that a default fastscan name is based on the description. I will check that. Simply remove the / from the dat description then.


ok...found the reason...the profiler uses the description tag for some profilenames....and these profilenames are the basis for some of the created temporary files like fastscan, scan, logs etc...
will change that. Thanks.

*update*
Hmmm...checked it again...the datfile is weird...at doesn't match the one on my page. The name tag is wrong. It should be goodsnes....so it's not the description tag which causes the problem but the wrong name tag.

Anyway, in the next version cmpro's datfilereader will remove some special filerelated characters from both tags.
