I noticed that since I upgraded from 1.3x to 1.42 that all my file names show a underscore in place of a space with using Batch Add File
Ex under 1.3x the file would appear as Death and he Maiden 1).jpg
Now under 1.4x the file appears as Death_and_the_Maiden_(1).jpg
Confusing where trying to use Batch Add File for new images.
Why are spaces considered forbidden.

Spaces are considered forbidden characters: http://communication.ucsd.edu/bjones/Unix.docs/unix_filenames.html
Just because an OS allows you to put spaces in your filenames doesn't make it correct.

Thanks for the helpful information

As someone who has been using Unix since 1978; Unix has no problem with spaces in filenames per se. Shells have quoting conventions to allow a filename with a space to be specified.
If you wanted to name a file "cat food" no problem, just put quotes around it so that it knows it's one file named "cat food" and not a file named "cat" and another file named "food".

Lunix can cope with spaces in folder names, but the www has not been designed with spaces in folder/file names in mind. Everything that has been added to the original www specifications causes issues. It's better to avoid them.
