MDL-2307 Special characters left in filenames after unzipping
Moodle has a nasty habit of leaving specail characters in file names after you unzip an archive. It will strips these characters (like apostrophies) from a file when that file is uploaded individually, but if you upload an archive, that process doesn’t happen.
The problem comes when you try and delete that file — Moodle’s scripts can’t handle the special character, and refuse to allow you to move, delete or otherwise modify the file. Fortunately, a fix is coming in Moodle 1.9.5 thanks to the work of Charles Fulton of Kalamazoo College at Hack/Doc Fest III at Reed College in January 2009.
