I believe this to be a bug with Avogadro

## Environment Information

Avogadro version: 1.98.0 nightly version  
Operating system and version: Win 11 pro

## Expected Behavior

Press the ‘Export molecule’ and message of selecting expansion name.

## Actual Behavior

This error message has occured - The file name contains invalid characters- even though I didn’t write the invalid characters.(MIL101)

## Steps to Reproduce

Run with administrator privileges, reboot the system, reinstall the program, etc.

Please upload files if appropriate here (or via file-sharing service like Dropbox or Pastebin)

Ugh. First off, thank you for trying the nightly.

Looks like for now, I’ll have to revert the filename filter. No idea on why it’s causing such problems. I have a build going - should have a Windows installer in the next hour or two:

Assuming there isn’t any obvious build problem, this will go out as 1.98.1 soon. (And probably the next nightly - never sure what “night” timezone is involved.)
