Custom Folder Names
Starting with Bruno v1.40.0 ↗, you can now use special characters in folder names and customize how they appear in the filesystem.
You can use any characters in your folder names, including special characters like /, [, ], *, etc. Bruno automatically handles filesystem compatibility by replacing unsupported characters with - in the filenames while preserving your original folder name.
How to View or Customize Filesystem Names
- Select Show Filesystem Name.

- You can now see how your folder name is stored on the filesystem.

- (Optional) Click the edit icon to customize the filesystem name while keeping your display name intact.
This feature allows you to:
- Create more descriptive folder organization.
- Use special characters freely.
- Maintain filesystem compatibility automatically.
- Keep your collection structure clean and organized.
Example
You could name a folder “API [v2.0] / Authentication” and Bruno will automatically handle the filesystem compatibility while preserving your desired display name.
