The exported file path can't contain special symbol '='.

Hi, I recently received this an error message on export - The exported file path can't contain special symbol '='. The path doesn't contain a = symbol. It does contain / because it is a date. I have hundreds of folders that I have imported and exported to and from Lightroom with this symbol with no problem in the past. I am using Lightroom Classic 13.3.1, which I believe is the latest version. Is this a new thing?

you shouldn't use a slash in a file name.  both backward and forward slashes are reserved by the os.

Thanks for the reply. I created a folder on the desktop without any symbols and the export worked fine.

I almost always use lightroom on my desktop, and was having the problem on my laptop. I didn't realize that a secondary folder that had a bunch of subfolders had an = symbol. Feel a bit embarrassed that I missed this, but was able to fix it. Thank you for the help
