Notes with quoted strings in their name are synced as if they are deleted about obsidian-livesync HOT 2 OPEN

Thank you for your question!
Unfortunately, you are correct. Self-hosted LiveSync only accepts files with problem-free file names on all platforms.
" is not allowed on Windows. Therefore, Self-hosted LiveSync has ignored the file as you mentioned.

I keep wondering if there is a better solution. Using an alternative expression only on the specific platform should cause terrible confusion.

I had not thought of actual OS limitations, This type of title would not work for me as I also sync with Windows.
I was using a Linux VM at the time which caused the characters to be accepted.

From a user perspective, instead of only preventing errors on the backend, it would be nice to be shown a popup with something along the lines of "File X contains problem character Y"
With a button below it to remove the character (could also be a setting to do this automatically), or to have the current non-sync situation and fix it manually.

This could also be extended by showing the platform that the character isn't accepted on, and an option to ignore that platform.
I don't use Mac for example and don't care about characters that only Mac cannot handle (if they exist).
