Well that's what I was hoping could happen as it does with some other
programs creating webpages and Lo and Behold it already does as so
often happens when we come up with a wish. I know very little about
the web page generation of Legacy as I haven't played with it much.

Sherry,
I have been following this thread with interest since I had, long
ago, chosen to name my picture files using spaces (i.e. "My Son 1992
High School Graduation.jpg"). Since I have over 700 pictures linked
to my Legacy database (individuals, events, marriages, locations,
sources, etc.) I dreaded the possibility of having to go back and
rename and re-link all those pictures to ensure Unix compatibility.
While looking at the web pages automatically created by Legacy I
looked into the "C:\Legacy\web\project name\pictures" directory
(substitute 'project name' for your project name). This is the
directory that is created during the web page generation by Legacy
and all the pictures used for the web pages are copied and stored
there. Lo and behold, I found that the pictures names in that
directory all conform to the Unix practice of no spaces, and even
where converted to lower case!! So, for the picture name stated
above, it was renamed automatically to
"my_son_1992_high_school_graduation.jpg". All of this took place
automatically - all I did was to tell Legacy to create the web pages.
Additionally, the HTML coding used for the pages reflects this new
file naming, so everything appears and links correctly.
This obviously surprised my given the fact that this entire thread
centers around the advisability of using no spaces in file names to
ensure Unix compatibility - yet Legacy appears to be changing the
files names (which, by the way, is not a bad thing since the
corresponding HTML code is also changed appropriately) automatically.
Did I just misunderstand the messages in this thread or is there
really no need to worry about how we name our multimedia files since
Legacy takes care of it for us??
Thanks,
Bob
