Feature: Add invalid name and path warnings to modals

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

At the moment, when you try to create a shortcut, if you enter a non existing path, Create button will be disabled but no reason is shown. Thre’s a similar issue when creating archives: you can enter whatever name you want (even using forbidden chars), and the Create button will always be enabled. If the name contains forbidden chars, the creation of the archive will fail and no reason will be given (only Couldn't create the archive) Finally, there’s a warning tip when we you try to create a file with an invalid name. This is a simple text block and looks different from the one used in tag creation. I think we should always use the same style to be consistent

Requirements

• Add a warning tip when the shortcut path doesn’t exist
• Add a warning tip when the archive name isn’t valid
• Change the style of the warning tip of the Rename dynamic dialog

Files Version

2.4.61.0

That seems like a limitation in the implementation, let’s move forward regardless and if I notice a fix when reviewing the PR, I’ll let you know.

The first one looks better.
