Title: Spaces in filenames displayed as %20 - how to stop this?
Post by: aracari on August 30, 2009, 07:24:10 PM

Is there any way I can get rid of the %20 chars in filenames?

eg: I have a filename in HFS which looks like this:
 "ugly cat.jpg"  But when I highlight the file in the left hand window of HFS so it appears in the top address window for copy/pasting into a URL to send to a friend, it gets transformed to this:
 "ugly%20cat.jpg"

ie: The space in the original filename gets changed to the %20  Is there a setting to prevent this?

-thanks for any help on this-

It is uri encoding, it is nothing to worry about.

Yes.

1.  Switch to Expert Mode in HFS
2.  Click on...  Menu -> Url Encoding and -> uncheck "encode spaces"
