Hello, as it says on the title, Calibre sends files with apostrophes in them (in titles and series names) and changes them to underscores. Issues are in file names only, the metadata seems fine and opening the books displays the title normally.

I've tried retyping the apostrophes before sending and it didn't work and I've tried saving the file to disk directly on my Kobo and it saved normally. Any clue what the issue is? It's mainly an annoyance when viewing folders in Koreader so I could live with manually renaming my folders but I'd rather fix it with Calibre if I can since some of my series are still ongoing and it might cause issues when sending if I rename my folders.
