Description

When automatically naming outputs (PDF, images etc.) by Field Calculator and linked to an attributefield, some outputs will not be generated if they include specific characters like /, <, >, ", !, ?, *. This is because you normally arent allowed to name files, folders etc with theese characters.

Hello,
If this bugreports concerns the Atlas part of QGIS 2.x, please report the bug in the main QGIS application.
If this concerns the Atlas plugin for QGIS 1.8, please note that it is now deprecated as the feature has been ported to core. It is not maintained any longer.
It is advised to update your QGIS version to benefit from all the improvements incorporated, especially concerning the composer and the Atlas feature.

I'm expecting this report - it concerns the inbuilt feature, but I'm unable to reopen this ticket or change its category to Map Composer. Vincent, are you able to do this?

Hello Nyall,

I added you as developper and manager of this plugin, and reopened the bug. I can only "move" it to the other projects belonging to me on this platform, and not the QGIS project itself. Maybe you will be able to do so now that I added you as a member.
