Hmmm, it seems that the section on file naming was removed. Sorry. Web servers don't like spaces in file names. They're replaced by an %20 (and sometimes other symbols). If the picture is linked as "bill smith.jpg" and it's changed to bill%20smith.jpg when uploaded, then it won't be found by the link in the web page.
If you want to separate "bill" and "smith", add an underscore or hyphen. Don't rely on capital letters for the distinction because those could be converted to lower case. So the best thing is to not include spaces in picture file names especially. We did have a problem with spaces in the path, but I believe that's been taken care of. Personally, I have my pictures in many sub-folders under c:\MyPictures, and none of the folder names have spaces. Thanks for using Legacy.

The article is rather long and has several parts. I don't see anything about not using spaces in picture file names and folder names. Instead, I see folder names with spaces in them in the snapshots of the user interface. Does anyone have a more specific reference to this don't-use-spaces rule?
