Custom Folder Names

Starting with Bruno v1.40.0 ↗, you can now use special characters in folder names and customize how they appear in the filesystem.
You can use any characters in your folder names, including special characters like /, [, ], *, etc. Bruno automatically handles filesystem compatibility by replacing unsupported characters with - in the filenames while preserving your original folder name.

​
