Export Command Doesn't Work

Export Command Doesn't Work

Occasionally paths or folders with unusual characters can cause a problem with Exporting files
Try to stay away from file names with alphanumerics and stay away from other keyboard characters.
Ampersands  (&) have been known to cause problems as well as well as quotes(").

For example

a file name like this could be a problem: john & june.mp3

or a path like this:  /User/Documents/Song Surgeon 3/"good files"/

If you are having problems opening or Exporting files, and these files have unusual characters in the names
or file paths that have unusual characters please try an alternative path or file name to see if this solves
your problem.
