| Recently, I added a new podcast to FeedDemon, called "Tom Robinson Introducing..." (from the BBC web site http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/trintro/) I let FeedDemon keep the three trailing periods, which was probably not a good idea, because when FeedStation downloaded the first MP3 it created a folder called "Tom Robinson Introducing.." and I had a heck of a time accessing it! Errors abound! Anyhow, long story short, I used "dir /x" from the command line to look up the 8.3 folder name, rename it to something without a period at the end, delete it and start over. I changed the name of the podcast to "Tom Robinson Introducing" and all was well. Anyhow, it looks like FeedStation tried to save me from a period-ending folder by lopping off the 3rd period, but it left the first two. Windows XP doesn't like that, and wouldn't let me manually access the folder. Previously, FeedStation had been good with puctuation that was not permissible in a folder name (it had turned a colon into an underscore), but this time it looks like both FeedStation and I were a little confused (I wasn't aware of the "no period at the end of a folder name" rule, myself). Perhaps in the future, FeedStation could do a better job of trimming trailing periods to avoid the above scenario?
