When dragging the file “Fred Fisher | Lecture Notes.pdf” from DT to a folder in finder the filename is changed to “Fred Fisher - Lecture Notes.pdf”.
How can I prevent DT from replacing “|” with “-” in the filename?

The pipe is a character incompatible with some file systems. It’s also a reserved UNIX symbol. We would suggest you let the behavior persist.
You can disable Preferences > General > General > More compatible naming of files but be aware you’re assuming the risks.
You’re welcome.
