Adobe Lightroom Classic 12.0.1

Apple MacStudio 2022

MacOS Ventura 13.0.1

 

Issuing "Rename Folder" in the left-hand menu

from:  2022-10-04 Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche München 

to:       2022-10-07 Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche München 

results in:

This is not a legal folder name. Certain special characters are not permitted.

 

The filenames above are both perfectly valid on a Mac.

Pleas correct the bug in Lightroom Classic.

I'm not able to reproduce that misbehavior, running LR in English or in German. Without a precise recipe that lets Adobe easily reproduce the problem, they won't pay any attention, unfortunately.  

 

Please copy/paste here the full path of the folder "2022-10-04 Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche München".  To get that, navigate to that folder in Finder, select it, and do File > Get Info.  In the Info window, select the path in Where:

Then copy/paste that text here.

Pleas -> Please

 

Lightroom reads the image files from the first folder and also from the second after renaming the folder externally.
