I would need a concrete reason to fly in the face of common sense and
deliberately change a file name to include spaces, it sounds a very large
Can-O-Worms to me.
If I download the file:
my_file_is_here.doc
instead of
my file is here.doc
to my desktop... what do I lose out on? What's the great advantage with
the spaces that means I should risk a lot of mucking about in the future?
I can recall numerous occasions where file names with spaces have put a
tariff on my workload. I still say avoid them.
