Hi.

I mainly use linux, but sometimes I need to transfer downloaded video to windows. Now, normally I don't use the forbidden windows characters because I used this OS for quite some time and I have no need for them.

ytDownloader on linux uses a different set of forbidden characters which I sometimes forget about and it can lead to some errors while transfering to NTFS drives.

For now I enabled the developer tools of the Electron and patched the function that checks the characters (renderer.js line 1041) to always include the windows set, but I would like to have it as some kind of switch in the settings if it's possible.
