Summary0004361: [PATCH] Don't default to or allow colons in snapshot name
DescriptionI occasionally have to back up Ardour session directories to FAT file systems. Mostly this is fine, but FAT doesn't really get along well with file names containing colons, and the default snapshot name contains not one, but two of them.
Additional InformationAttached a patch for A3 to replace the colons with full stops in the default snapshot name, and to disallow colons, exactly as forward-slash and backslash characters are already forbidden.

I realise that the resulting time string no longer conforms to ISO 8601, but at least I can copy the files to a FAT-formatted drive.
TagsNo tags attached.

Good spot and thanks for fixing this Colin (presuming your patch does actually work of course)! I bet a few people have fallen foul to this and not known why.
