Description bugbridge 2007-02-05 17:32:35 UTC
Original status: 1-Dispatched; Suggested Status: NEW

Original Target Release: mako_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : Dev


Description:
Current Creator project doesn't support project name other than [a-zA-Z_0-9 .-]
So we can't create project with special characters but we can still open an
existing project with special characters e.g. Web application{20}. IDE won't
complain until it fails to deploy the application. 
In future we should give an error/warning message whenever user wants to open a
non standard project.
