Inconsistent file operations with '?'

As of 1.6 beta 12 using File Operations, I find that the "?" is not being replaced by the "_" when it is located near the end of a file name.

For example "Missing? Impossible!" title is correctly renamed "Missing_ Impossible!.flac"
While "Where Did We Go Wrong?" is renamed "Where Did We Go Wrong.flac" instead of "Where Did We Go Wrong_.flac"

Is this a bug or intended behavior?

Also found another file with the title "?" and having a track number of 17 being named to "17..flac" instead of "17. _.flac".
It seems to also omit the space I entered before the title field.
I'm using the formatting:
Code: [Select]
%tracknumber%. %title%

why don't you try to rename those actual files manually and see what happens?

It works doing it manually but that's not the point.

Stripping of question marks at the end is intended and did not change in beta 12.
Please go to Preferences / Advanced / Tools / File Operations and check 'modern replacement of filename characters' for prettier handling of such.

I'm fine with the underscores I was just wondering that's all. Thanks.
