Hey Pete. I'm a week away from my dissertation defense and very behind. If I haven't closed this in about two weeks, please ping me again. Thanks!

[petebachant]

No sweat. I will see if I can figure out what's going on. Good luck with the defense!

Feel free to unsubscribe to reduce stress while you're getting ready. I will post some notes here.

Best solution may be to catch the ValueError and simply use the notebook base name. Would like to create a test for this on AppVeyor, which may require creating a separate virtual disk.

Hope your dissertation defense went well! Just pinging this issue again since I haven't worked on it yet. It's not holding up the project I'm using it for, however.
