Yes, spaces are a real pain and if you do a search on something like "spaces underscore" virtually everything is "how do I replace spaces with an underscore", not the other way round. Nevertheless, spaces are a valid character in filenames and it seems not quite right to replace them without warning, no matter how much pain it saves!
