[Discuss] Spaces_in_file_names.

[David Frey]

On my computer (Debian unstable) there is a command called rename, so
there is no need to write another program to do the same thing.

Just run: $ rename 's/ /_/g' "filename with spaces"
to replace all spaces in the filename with underscores.

I think it's incorrect to do this though.  An underscore is not a space
and shouldn't be used as one.
