Is this possible to set in the ![:mt_ttf:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/922db76db5d45b2e558d10f3d8c25fb8bc04fd27.png ":mt\_ttf:") "Tag to Filename" dialogue, or do I have to write an action to do it?

By default Mp3tag deletes all Windows invalid characters (\ / : \* ? " \< \> |) when doing this.
