Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntfs-3g
Example: you create a file called "Why do I keep couting?.flac" on an NTFS partition. Ok, but when you open Windows, then you get problems with this "?". When on an NTFS partition, Ubuntu should warn (not deny) about naming files a way Windows doesn't allow. It also should have a tool for scanning NTFS partitions and then erase/replace the invalid file names.
@added: at least that analyzing tool could be implemented, allowing users that get into this problem to scan and replace all undesirable chars. It could be built into suitable place like an ntfs-config option or NTFS-volume properties tab) .
