Re: [Tracker] Searching for Filnames with underscore

["Thomas Sommer" <mawa15 gmx de>]

Hi Aleksander,

thanks for the info. So this means I have to use space as separator in file names? Any possiblities to change 
that? I can understand it from a technical point of you but why is this restriction opposed on the user. 
There are enough arguments to not use spaces in filenames?

Kind of confused ;-)

Cheers,

Thomas
