"Save to local file" doesn't work for sounds with names containing special characters

Not sure if this has been reported already, please excuse me if it has! When an asset has a special character like ? or / in its name the “save to local file” option in the popup menu doesn't work (no “save file” prompt is shown). I know that file names generally can't contain these characters, but this would probably be very confusing to someone unfamiliar with the fact.

Not an Scratch bug, it is a restriction from your operating system wich doesn't admit certain characters in filenames.

Actually, I feel that it is a Scratch bug as Scratch should be removing those characters and saving the file anyway.

Hi, maybe but if it is “?” and it is removed then would be blank or empty. However when saving the sound it can be renamed in the popup window asking for a place in the PC.
Edit: I've tested and even thre is not a chance to save it,.
