Bug or Feature [to rename images to safe characters in plain-text]

OSX, Scrivener 3.5.2
When exporting I can export image names as shown in the screenshot.
Images with spaces in their names are mangled, eg.
’This is an image.jpg’ → ’Thisisanimage.jpg’

Bug or feature?

Yes, given how this feature will most often be used to generate markup or syntax of some form, and how generally speaking file system naming needs to be more strict in such context (or requires ugly encoding like %20), it is safest to clean the filenames.

Wouldn‘t it be nicer to convert the space to an underscore? More readable.

Yes, I was thinking just that as well, or even camelCaseNames.png would be better than running it all together. I think underscores are safer and less complicated than messing with the letter case though.
