Thanks. I already use Flash Renamer which is a similar utility.

Oh, I see. For NTFS it is allowed.
Is there any possibility in Calibre to determine the target file system?

Way too much work for ALL the variants of the file systems supports.
AND
FAT and FAT32 are the common filesystems used on devices (even Linux devices)

Even though it might be a valid NTFS name it would still cause issues at the command prompt level in Windows.

OK, but if so, then there should appear some dialog warning that your string contains some unsupported characters and the resulting file/folder names will come out in a different way than you specified, instead of accepting them and pretending that they are valid.

Interestingly there is no problem with "+" on my FAT32 SD-card in my eReader.

That's fine, but I don't process the names in a console. I use "+" as prefix only to indicate collapsible categories (like the "+" in a GUI), which are sorted before other folders without "+".

I'll use one of the batch renaming tools like dwig wrote to incorporate the "+".
