No, I don't think so. But spaces in file names are not really
the problem. They are "officially" supported on both Windows
and Linux. Unfortunately application developers sometimes
forget this and do not test some of the specialised coding
that they do when processing file names. It is just a matter
of testing, finding such problems and fixing them.
