In some cases, RayFlow may additionally adjust the file name. This may happen if one of the following is true:

File name contains characters that are invalid for Windows operating system or the name is not valid file name. In that case, the file name is adjusted to be valid and unique.

 

Should any change be done automatically, a message similar to the following may be shown:
