filedate's Issues

Issue with os.path.expandvars and odd filenames

I stumbled upon this pretty recently, and thought to make a post to see if it was something the maintainers were interested in.

When instantiating a File class, if the file path has the substring "$$" somewhere in the path, it will be scrubbed by the init function for File due to os.path.expandvars.

Example:
Original path: "X:\TestFolder\TestSubFolder\check_request$$fromjim.pdf"
self.file in the class post initialization: Original path: "X:\TestFolder\TestSubFolder\check_request$fromjim.pdf"

I know this is probably a ridiculous edge case but technically "$$" is allowed in Windows for a document name so it will cause the file to not be found by the library.

This can be worked around by overriding the "file" property on the class in my testing.

Thanks!

Add possibility to use it in folders

Trying to use it in folders (windows), it produces a strange behavior, the "details" view shows the date correctly, but in properties it shows the actual date of creation of the folder.
