The pair of characters {} was intended to be used for tagging replacement strings so you could do complex search/replace strings that used {xxx} to delimit the strings … I never got a clear explanation of how the tags were supposed to be parsed, and the implementation of the search function didn't include code for the tags except to just ignore them. Never knew anyone was using {} in filenames … likely for the next ARP release we will either implement the full use of tags, or we'll just treat the tag characters as regular ASCII- …cheath
