I found that if you click "New Sub-Folder" and enter "\test\folder" with paths, UbuntuOne Should not allow this

[Panayiotis Savva]

When Creating a "New Sub-Folder"
and you enter something like "\new\Folder", the web interface allows for this. But it really shoudn't

---

At this point the model code prevents such a folder from being created, but the web UI still needs to provide better feedback about what is allowed.

(See ubuntuone.storageprotocol.dircontent for the validation rules and a regexp which might be adaptable to JavaScript.)

I confirmed this in the web ui. I tested the following using the "New Sub-Folder" button in the web ui:

"\new\Folder" - Synced to desktop client
"/new/Folder" - Sync daemon reported an error ('/test/folder' isn't a child of '/home/jhoover/Ubuntu One/My Files')

We should definitely not allow the creation of folders with forward slashes in the name. The user should be alerted that the name is invalid due to the forward slashes and left with the prompt to try to rename the folder.

more controller work

Hm. So why are we treating backslashes as path separators?

If you are working on this, please set it to "in progress". If you are not, why not? Is it not critical? If so, please adjust it. If it *is* critical, fix it!

Thanks,
