I also make a habit of creating file names for images that do not have spaces. I will add hyphens or underscores instead.

That's a good file naming practice,
which can also help to avoid errors when uploading files to the internet.

Although I haven't found this to be an issue here on Gimp Chat.
That isn't to say that this is the case elsewhere on the web.

Still it's a good practice,
that I must admit I don't always follow.
:oops:

I believe Tux once stated that using spaces in image names could possibly cause errors loading them. It was quite a while ago though.
