Hi everyone. Just want to report this issue:
If you have subtools with special characters like “/” or “” There is no problem apparently until you use the transposeMaster. It will pop up a message and stop the TPose process. After the issue there is no more transpose master until restart Zbrush.
It´s not a common bug. Just need to be careful naming with no special chars your subtools.
I don’t quite understand what you mean by there’s no problem. The pop-up in your image shows the name 'DemoSoldier\me" but the subtool list just says “me”. Also, if you try to save the top subtool as a ZTL you’ll see that the dialog box just has “me.ztl”. So the fact that there’s a descrepancy there should alert you to potential problems.
Perhaps Transpose Master should check for special characters that might cause problems - I’ll consider it. You probably realise that the problem arises because inserting a slash (either forward or backward) creates a file path that contains a non-existent folder.
As a general rule it’s best to avoid special characters apart from the hyphen, underscore and hash sign.
I just mean there´s no bigger problem than the incorrect name displayed as far as i tested. The mesh works fine and you can export and rename with no problem at all. So it´s not a big deal to solve it (rename and avoid using slash). But it becomes a big problem after you use the TPoseMesh button. It will never recover the TPoseMesh functionallity until you restart Zbrush. Even if you try with another project.
My intention with the post it´s just to aware others from using slashes characters in the subtool names
By the way. Could you explain what does a read text in the subtool mean? I found some times subtools with red text and after rename the popup text fixes.
Thank you Marcus.

I don’t think it means anything. I’ve noticed that happen with long path or subtool names. ZBrush doesn’t display all characters in the pop-ups and it may be to do with that, or if the path is too long to display. I don’t think it is anything to worry about.
Thanks Marcus for your reply
I´ll test if it works fine with red naming and transposeMaster. There is where all begun.
Slashes are a terrible character to use in file naming. I would highly recommend not even getting in the habit of using them for file names. Use something else like the underscore, file_name.
They can cause issues in various programs and operating systems. Best to not get used to using them.
