It's not a bug, though. If you want to be sure your file-name survives a move from one computer to another or from you to me, never use anything in the file name other than abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890_ And IMO it's safest to put the unique info in the first 7 spaces. NOT that I follow that these days, but I'm sure I'll regret not doing it sooner or later.
