No big deal and not a JP1 issue. Perhaps everybody knows, but me. Looks like [square brackets] in filename are poison for making links – where, whatever parses this, isn’t looking for complete [/url] but first bracket after url=fileLink.
This fails

This worked for me
zip file

Keep up the great work. And thanks for all the help you're providing.

Yes, there are many characters that are not allowed in URLs.
For example, one of those is the space. It must be replaced with %20
The left square bracket should be %5B and the right square bracket should be %5D

Or you could just avoid using square brackets in your file names! Smile

No [ ] is filename ? That's like telling someone to stop drinking, smoking, driving thru red lights Laughing
