BUG (L8.9 SR-1) PB builder can't deal with filenames with semi-colons in them (in Windows)

Created a document titled When Anabaptists Get Angry; The Wrath of God in a Process - Anabaptist Perspective.docx (content from this article online; I'd edited it to make all the footnotes real footnotes).

Tried to build it into a PB but got the following errors:

[Error] Error while building book: Error while discovering resource.
[Error] Exception: LDLS4.Panels.PersonalBookBuilderPanel.PersonalBookBuilderException: Error while discovering resource.

Renamed the file When Anabaptists Get Angry - The Wrath of God in a Process-Anabaptist Perspective.docx to get rid of the semi-colon (which is a legit character in filenames in Windows, BTW; the title of the article had a colon in it, but that's not a legit character for filenames in Windows, so I'd changed it to a ; ). Rebuilt and it worked.

EXPECT: Any allowable filename in Windows should be handled by the PB builder. Shouldn't have had to rename it.

Bump.

I'm able to compile a personal book just fine using your original file name.

[Error] Error while building book: Error while discovering resource.

This sounds like there was a failure after the book was built; i.e., the filename wasn't a problem. It may have "just worked" if you recompiled the book without renaming the source document.

It appears you are right. I renamed the book back again and recompiled, and it worked.

Hmm. No idea what might have caused the initial problem, but alas I did not save the log file. Oh well.
