H-Works Agency	Friday 23 March 2007 12:31:43 pm Hi all, I have always the same problems with my clients, telling them to check their filename before uploading. Like removing accents, spaces well using [0-9]+[a-z]+[A-Z]+[_-] But like always most of them don't even think about it resulting in a chaotic file organisation. Is there a way to tell EZP to normalize file names during storage ? WOuld be the same type of transformation used from $node.name to $url_alias. That would transform this "my filé is à la maison.jpg" into "my_file_is_a_la_maison.jpg". Being able to enable this transformation from an upload.ini directive would be great but i am shure this should already exist. Thanx a lot in advance EZP is Great

Hi all,

I have always the same problems with my clients, telling them to check their filename before uploading.

But like always most of them don't even think about it resulting in a chaotic file organisation.
