Printables bug report: Space characters in downloaded files are percent encoded (% 20) on Safari
I didn't find a place to report bugs on printables itself so here goes.
When downloading a file from printables whose name contains spaces characters with Safari they get converted to percent encoding '%20'.
That's pretty annoying since the name gets carried through to the sliced gcode and the display on the printer / ocotprint / klipper etc.
This happens to me with Safari 16.5 on macOS 13.
This looks like a Safari problem.
I just downloaded a couple of spaced files with Firefox on Linux without the effect.
Please supply the url of a printables page that reliably creates the effect for you and I'll check again.
Cheerio,
RE: Printables bug report: Space characters in downloaded files are percent encoded (% 20) on Safari
I can reproduce this issue with Safari, but when I revert to Chrome to download the same file, it correctly uses spaces. I tested with one of my own files, the STL of this model: https://www.printables.com/model/572793-petanque-jack/files
In Safari, if I download all the model files in one go, there are hyphens between the words - that must be a Printables thing. But if I download just the STL, there are percent-encoded spaces between the words. So it seems like it might be a Safari bug, and maybe Prusa coded around it for the 'download all files' option, but didn't do the same for the individual files. I haven't found a setting in Safari that prevents this behaviour.
Sorry I'm late to this: Firefox deals with those files without problems -
