           Summary: File Save dialog & Dolphin create folders allow '/'
                    char
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alexc223 at googlemail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When creating a new directory within Dolphin, or by selecting the 'New Folder'
button in a Save File dialog the user is able to enter in a string such as
'foo/bar'. This results in a directory being created called 'foo/bar' - with
the forward slash. This can causes confusion and directories shouldn't contain
this char that represents the forward slash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open Dolphin -> File -> Create New -> Folder ...
2) Enter in 'foo/bar'
3) Press 'ok'

Actual Results:  
A directory is created with the name 'foo⁄bar':

[acartwright:~]$ ls -1 | grep foo
foo⁄bar                                                                         
[acartwright:~]$ cd foo⁄bar/                                                    
[acartwright:~/foo⁄bar]$ ls                                                     
[acartwright:~/foo⁄bar]$ cd ../
[acartwright:~]$ 

Expected Results:  
Either an error message, or create sub folders from the provided name. i.e
~/foo and ~/foo/bar directories should have been made.
