    Default Slash in SKU

    Is a "slash" an illegal character in a SKU? I'm getting an ugly error message when I try to upload a product image in Admin for a product with a "slash" in the SKU:

    Could not find a part of the path 'W:\Clients\docs\images\Product\large\tmp_MC1530B\ .jpg'.
    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Exception Details: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'W:\Clients\docs\images\Product\large\tmp_MC1530B\ .jpg'.


    In addition, if I add a "slash" to the SKU for a product that is correctly showing its image, the image no longer displays on the public site. Note that we do have "UseSKUForProductImageName" turned on and is working fine except for these few items with a "slash".

    Thanks for any suggestions! Annette

    SKU's shouldn't contain slashes if you're using "UseSKUForProductImageName", no. If you do that, when we put the SKU at the end of the path to pull the image file from, Windows is going to read that slash as indicating another subfolder in the path and look for a folder that doesn't exist.
