Hi all,
Actually, Windows is the only platform that allows spaces in file
names. Mac doesn't, Linux doesn't, and neither did old DOS.
Therefore, keeping the dashes and/or underscores in file names makes
sense. It's more consistant that way too. I don't know what kind of
machine the repository runs on, but if it's Unix or Linux, then the
file names will have to be changed unless the people setting them up
want to put the names in quotation marks. It just makes more work for people.
Once the file is open, then you can have titles with spaces, but seems
to me that having dashes or underscores would be a better bet.
