hello!

so, on my windows laptop FFS works great, no issues.
On my Ubuntu laptop, it has synced 76,221 files successfully, but for some reason i keep getting these errors with 220 files:

Cannot write file
EINVAL: Invalid argument [open]

Cannot move file
EINVAL: Invalid argument [rename]

Cannot make directory
EINVAL: Invalid argument [mkdir]

It seems to have something to do with special characters like |, ~, :, etc, but for some of them the only non-letter character is simply a period. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I'm running v 12.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

thanks!

Although they may look like a period, they very well could have an "invalid" encoding. If you take one of those files, erase the period, add a period back, will it sync?
