Can't have "." in Sample Map name
-
It seems in the most recent develop build you can't include a period in sample map names, so any previous sample maps I've made (e.g. "Mr. Blippy") are now irreversibly messed up for my end users without a reinstall of the samples. Now, if I try to convert a sample map like "Mr. Blippy" to a monolith, the monolith will be named just "Mr.ch1". This also irreversibly affects any presets using these sounds.
@Christoph-Hart Do you know if there was something added recently that could have altered this behavior?
EDIT: It appears the issue is when you try to load a sample map with a "." in the name, it can't find the monolith because it assumes the name stops at the period. So "Mr. Blippy" looks for a monolith named "Mr".

@Casey-Kolb Generally a bad idea to put
.
in file names becauseWindowssome operating systems think that means the end of the file name and whatever follows is the extension. But since it was working for you before I think this is a bug that needs resolving. -
@d-healey Yep, and I'm having this issue on Mac too, so it's something in the way the sample map names are being parsed when looking for the monoliths.

@Casey-Kolb Yes I rewrote some of the monolith file handling stuff to allow split monolith files (for samplemaps that have more than 2GB of samples). This might have introduced this issue.
I'll take a quick look. I second Davids advice that it's not the smartest thing to do but now it's in the open and you don't want every user to reinstall stuff because of that.
