Filemin crash

I was accessing filesystem via filemin, and trying to access a folder I got an error: Error - Perl execution failed: Unmatched ) in regex

I think it is because in the folder there are some files with a single closed parentesis in their names.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Ah yes, that could indeed explain the issue.

Just for testing purposes though, are you able to run this command on the command line to show us the names of all the files in there:

ls /path/to/directory/that/crashes/filemin

Ok, I see the bug that causes this - it will be fixed in the next Webmin release.

That folder have a long list of files, I grep'ped out the big, to isolate the interesting:

[root@vsp01 reserved]# ls | grep \) | grep -v \( | head

I didn't any test with file with both patenthesis: in the same folder we have also:

[root@vsp01 reserved]# ls | grep \(.*\) | head

This is an escaping issue triggered by filenames with ( ) in them - it will be fixed in the next Webmin release.
