TEXT OVERLAY converting Slashes to Colon

Hello.

The TEXT OVERLAY function is converting Slashes / to colons : instead of keeping the Slash in the filename, when we show the filename on screen.

This was working fine until this last update. The "Slash" appears in vehicle model names like "R/T" and this shows on screen, and if we as a dealer show R:T, we look stupid.

 

So, this change to the way our Watch Folders and overlays handles dozens of videos affects our image. Please fix.

Hi Chris, 

let me try to repro what you experience on my side. Could you please send me repro steps and also the version of AME you are experiencing this behaviour? So far with the latest beta (25.6x36) version I couldn't repro. I set up a preset with a text overlay "R/T" typed in the prefix text box and only used the prefix, not the file name. The result was "R/T".
