gbeer carpal tunnel Registered: 17/12/2000 Posts: 2665 Loc: Manteca, California	Am I missing something. I have several epub files that happen to have a # in the file name. Attempting to use "open with">stanza. I get the error Could not open file... the file does not exist. I edit the file name and remove the # and it opens fine. WTF _________________________ Glenn

Preview, Quicktime, Safari, and Adobe Digital Editions all open a PDF with a # in it, when using the open with menu option. Stanza however gives me the same error you receive. I'd recommend filing a bug with Lexcycle.
