Bug: SMB scrambles folder names ending with a dot

Operating System ZimaOS
1

Folder names ending with a dot are scrambled in SMB share view:

finder

files

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a folder in ZimaOS Files app ending with a dot. Example: music 7.2.
  • Lookup new folder via SMB

Used versions:

ZimaOS v1.3.2-1
macOS 15.3.1 (connection established via SMB 3.1.1)

2

Additional info:

It is also impossible to delete such folders via SMB. You have to use ZimaOS’ Files app.

Thanks for your feedback. We will handle it.

Thank you so far.

With version 1.4.1, SMB does show the name correctly now.

But unfortunately, I can not manage it via SMB. E.g. deleting or renaming does not work via macOS finder. It throws an “unknown” error in macOS (error -43).

Tested versions:

ZimaOS v1.4.1
macOS 15.5 (connection established via SMB 3.1.1)

Addendum:

SMB / ZimaOS File app does also struggle with question marks. E.g. I can not upload this file from my Mac via SMB:

SWR_Retro_-_Abendschau-Sind_in_den_Krankenhäusern_für_Notfälle_immer_Ärzte_bereit?-0524646134.mp4

I have also had a problem with question marks in the filename. I first noticed it around 1.3.8 I think, or after a bad experience with Resilio, yet it didn’t seem to be a problem beforehand. (I also can’t use other symbols in filenames, like >>> which I used to use.)
