I would say, the real soultion is to write bash commands and scritps
correctly with spaces in mind.. and learn how different types of quoting
work.. There will always be enough files with spaces in their names and
I don't se any need to bother renaming them...
The only thing I hate in file names is '\n' And sometimes ':', '?' or
similar when I want to copy the files to a fat23 ;).
