How to write \ character to PSD file using Aspose.Imaging for .NET

Aspose.Imaging Product Family

Hi,
it seems that when you try to update text layer content with \ (backslash) character, resulting file cannot be opened in Photoshop.
Is this a known issue - is there any escape you need to use when writing this character?

So using:
private static void UpdateText(string filePath, string newText)
{
using (var image = Image.Load(filePath))
{
if (!(image is PsdImage)) return;

            var psdImage = (PsdImage)image;
            var layers = psdImage.Layers;

            for (var index = layers.Length - 1; index >= 0; index--)
            {
                var layer = layers[index];

                if (!(layer is TextLayer)) continue;

                var textLayer = (TextLayer)layer;
                textLayer.UpdateText("\\()");
            }

            var imageOptions = new PsdOptions(psdImage);

            var fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
            var outputFilePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath) + "\\target_" + fileName;
            psdImage.Save(outputFilePath, imageOptions);
        }
    }

You will get file which cannot be opened in Photoshop - problematic are \ and ()

@rlaskowski.sdl,

I have observed the inforamtion shared by you and an issue with ID IMAGINGNET-3023 has been logged in our issue tracking system to further investigate and resolve the issue. For the time being, I also suugest you to please try adding the backslash using Unicode in your application.

e.g “Hello \u000b World”

HI,
using unicode escape doesn’t solve anything.
Do you have any estimate for fixing this issue? It basically means we cannot use the library in production at all.

Additional testing revealed some more issues with other characters - still trying to get more details but it seems also different types of brakets ([]{}) can cause the same issue.
Also, some Korean and Chinese characters seem to have same impact.
