           Summary: Album names get created with *spaces* in the filesystem

        ReportedBy: kde richardneill org


Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)

Spaces in filenames and directory names are pure evil. If I create an album named "My Holidays in France", from the GUI, may I ask that digikam creates the directory as "My_Holidays_in_France" ?
Conversely, underscores should be displayed as spaces.

The problem wouldn't matter quite so much, except that digikam uses its own database - and that means that modifying filenames from the shell after creating albums is likely to cause pain.  So I can't just run my "remove_spaces.sh" script on the whole photographs directory.
