Re: [Banshee-List] banshee playlist export * in name becomes _

Thanks for your explanation, and time.

* may stand for other characters when used as a wild card, but does that 
necessarily exclude * from being part of file names? I do use * as part 
of file names every now and then.

Well, Banshee is a great thing and I am happily living with small 
details like this one!
