I have read with much interest the various methods to record Source data

It appears the preferred method by those most experienced is to record

This issue has been bothering me too. The source clipboard is very nice,

You are on the right path.
The issue with spaces in file names is the web hosting server.
If the web server Unix box, then Unix does not recognize files with

If the web server is a Windows server, it is OK with blanks in the file names.
