   Hello i love this plugin except one thing...
   When a user uploads a file with spaces, the spaces are not replaced with dashes as they are when using the WordPress uploader.
   I use Add From Server to upload videos to use with the JW Player Plugin. But JW Player does not allow spaces in filenames: "http://example.com/uploads/file name here.jpg" automatically turns into "http://example.com/uploads/filenamehere.jpg"

   WordPress has a function to replace spaces with dashes in file names: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_file_name

   is there anyway to incorporate this function into this plugin??

   Thanks.

   Thanks for your report pbsrg, I'll have a look into what is happening, AFAIK, I'm using the same file sanitization that the WordPress uploader uses, but given what you suggest, I might've missed something!

   Thanks Dion, I appreciate you looking into this.

   Also after reading my first post, I think I wasn't completely clear on this: I upload these files with an FTP software. When I add them to my media library via Add From Server, it would be nice if the spaces and special characters were removed from the file name at that time.
