Do I have to Use Underscores For the Captions of Images?

Do I have to Use Underscores For the Captions of Images? I am making a module using the Zentools Grid.

It automatically uses the name of the file for the captions. However the Media Manager will not let me upload an image with a space in its title. Therefore, all of my captions (see this page)

www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/lifestyle/index.php/about/photo-archive

have to have underscores in their captions. Is there any way to get around this? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi Elizabeth,

In the module image source options you can change the 'File name separator character' to an underscore for it to be replaced with a space.

With underscores you can upload via media manager and it comes with the bonus that adding any of these images to articles will see the underscore stripped by JCE in the alt tag

So underscores are very handy :)
