Default Render Option: File name "/" does not create new directory

I don't know on what part of the forum to place this so I'll place it here in case it turns into a FR.

Is there a way to render a file with a "/" in the name without reaper using it automatically as a new folder path? It's a PITA to render out things in odd tempos 3/4 6/8 7/8 15/16 etc without suddenly making a bunch of folders named 3 6 7 15 with files in them called 4 8 16 etc..

So if there isn't a clear way, maybe a FR to have the option to use those or not? I already have it in the directory path right above, seems redundant although yeah, maybe people use it that way too with wildcards.

I see there's an option there for something very similar, but that doesn't seem to do what I'm asking for, idk

/ is invalid character in some OS : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...es-for-windows


replace by other characters like -.

Ahhh ok yeah, that makes sense, damn, that's disappointing. Using a "-" would confuse me unfortunately because I use them for other things too..

Oh, well. Thank you X-Raym!

this left thousands of other unicode characters.


not usual, but maybe try some slash alternatives (looks like slash but it is not slash)

I tried to stay with limited alphanumerical characters as much as possible cause to be safe (no worries avout font display etc)
