View Full Version : Spaces in filenames cause problems in Media Manager

Uploaded images with space characters in the filename.

For example: My great photo.jpg

This uploads easily enough but it cannot be used anywhere else on the site, nor can it be deleted.

Workaround: Create new directory. Rename all images prior to uploading, using only alphanumeric filenames with no spaces.

For example: mygreatphoto.jpg

However, this leaves me with a directory full of misnamed images which I can't delete. Does anyone know how I can delete them, please?

Why isn't this simple, vital information in the helpfile or in the book under Media Manager on pages 75-76?

Best regards and thanks

How about rename the your image folder and try to delete via shell access
