We have site using joomgallery. Quite a few people seem to be getting confused about the valid filename characters thing, where you get this message:

No special characters are allowed in this field.
a-z, A-Z, -, and _ are acceptable.

I guess the constraints are put in place for security, but it would be nice to relax these constraints. For example people often seem to have square brackets or extra dots in the filename. That should not cause any problems right?

In the control panel (Components > JoomGallery > Configuration Manager)there is an option to ignore special characters.  It is on the General Settings > Replacements.  I turned it off an have not had any problems so far.  It seems like the issue I have is the spaces in the Windows File names (i.e. Program Files.) I tried to add space to the characters to substute, but of course that sis not work...

I use Joomgallery version 1.5.7.5 and I've problem with Replacement characters of filename. In administration is set Replacement for czech characters
ě|š|č|ř|ž|ý|á|í|é|ú|ů|ó|ď|ť|ň
to
e|s|c|r|z|y|a|i|e|u|u|o|d|t|n
But if I upload new picture with special czech character (for example: ěščř.jpg) it doesn't work, it writes: JGS_COMMON_ALERT_WRONG_FILENAME.
Where I can find mistake, please?
