- Description
I wasn't happy to see that the file upload process changed the text formatting of file names in a way that changes or muddies the meaning of the text. For example,
"J-M_at_Fameux_IMG_5541.jpg" (file name) produces
"J M At Fameux IMG 5541" (file title).
Information/meaning is lost in this rewriting. The hyphen in "J-M" is intentional; the name is hyphenated and the hyphen should not be removed. Also "IMG" should be linked to the image number with an underscore (this is from my local image naming scheme) - it loses meaning by being detached. In another case, I used the word "expensive-ish", which was changed to "Expensive Ish". This is wrong and brain-dead, or should I say Brain Dead? Which leads me to the second issue: every word becomes capitalized. This is bad style; in a title, only the beginning and important words are capitalized (in English anyway). It's not good to have the software replace proper style blindly with wrong alternatives.
