Descriptive Problem Summary:
When you create a hub path with periods in it, such as
http://www.byond.com/games/SuperSaiyanX/t.e.s.t.lol
and you download something, (Currently, on that hub, I just have a version of a library hosted on it.), in your MyHub folder, each period will be turned into a new folder.
(~\BYOND\MyHub\supersaiyanx\t\e\s\t\lol
I've noticed this on older hubs, and such, some examples would be, (Just giving full directory paths)
F:\BYOND\MyHub\darkemrald\r\e\o\REO31\REO\REO
F:\BYOND\MyHub\contact\s\i\tsource\SIT
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Create a hub with periods in the hub path
2. Upload something to it
3. Download from it
4. the hub download appears in the MyHub folder, but, with folders inside of folders, until reaching the project files.
Expected Results:
The folders to be properly created, with periods being periods in the folder name
Actual Results:
nested folders
Also, just an inquiry, but why isn't http://www.byond.com/games/SuperSaiyanX/t.e.s.t.lol equal to http://www.byond.com/games/SuperSaiyanX/testlol ?

This can actually be handy for extra content when using separate hub entries. Set the main game with a hub that lacks a period. Then create another hub entry of the form [main title].[subtitle] This will install the second within the folder of the first... At least, it used to back in the days I worked on Webcrawl. There are links to the other content on the page if you'd like to try it yourself.
I'm not saying that an old project which I don't even support myself is worth keeping this around if it gets in the way. However, a similar feature might be useful for new ones. =) | |

Ah, I see. But, there are some intended cases for this, and if it's intended behavior (or a secret feature even Tom didn't know about)...it should be documented, or something.

Since this does have uses, changing it would cause problems with legacy games, and there's really no reason I can see this being a problem, I'll close this.
