Bobby,
An interesting issue.
You can fix it with a file renamer. I use File Renamer Basic free from

I have recently been struggling with a problem with media
files. On many occasions I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to
enter data into legacy. The problem I ran into deals with
file names. As an example:
Census - Bradley County, Tennessee - 1940 - John Doe
is the name of a file I would use. The character between
census and Bradley is a hyphen(ascii 45) as opposed to a
dash(ascii 0150). Using Dragon to dictate this file name, I
would use the word dash which would enter a space before and
after the dash. In doing so everything seemed to work fine
including the file sorting. However, when I backed up the
media files and use the backup file to restore them on
another computer I found many media files missing.
I have discovered that when you zip a file with a dash(ascii
0150) and then unzip the file the dash is returned as a
hyphen. Therefore the file name has changed and LFT cannot
find this media file.
This is a warning for anyone who might for any reason do a
backup with a file name that contains a dash.
