Public bug reported:
Today's example-content directory (/usr/share/example-content) has many
files in it which have very unfriendly looking names. Words are
separated with the "_" character and the "logos" folder is in all lower
case.
This is entirely unnecessary, because the file system we use has always
(as far as I can remember...) supported spaces and, for that matter,
just about any other character in file names. It would be way friendlier
looking if the files here were named in friendly, nontechnical ways such
as "Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase" (As opposed to
Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase), "Kubuntu leaflet.jpg" as opposed to
"Kubuntu_leaflet.jpg," and "About Ubuntu (Russian).rtf" as opposed to
"About_Ubuntu_[Russian].rtf".
(Even the file extensions are pretty pointless, but I'll let that pass
as a necessary step for portability and given that determining MIME
types isn't exactly foolproof).
While I understand the avoidance of complex file names for most software
projects, I don't think there is a reason not to have friendly ones for
example-content, at least to show users how awesomely forgiving the file
system is :)
