Error while uploading pic with "/"

[Георгий]

Hey!
When I'm trying to upload a pic with "/" sign in the file name it shows me an error message:
 

It's pretty annoying when I don't notice it and find it empty description when return.
Why it can't just work with "/"?

Because / is not a valid character in a file name for decent directory systems.  It indicates a directory.  If we take a file, put it in directory "stuff" and call it "exam/ple.txt", then what you are actually saying is "put a file called ple.txt in the directory called exam, which is inside the directory called stuff" - literally stuff/exam/ple.txt

Now, a service such as Jira really should insulate us from that.  Unfortunately there's a design flaw in Jira, in that it doesn't check the file names properly before accepting them for upload.  It should tell you "I can't use that file name" or it should be encoding or flipping invalid characters and telling you the new name.

Further to that, the flaw is throwing you a misleading message when it fails.  It's not the formatting of the content, it's the invalid file name.
