Spaces in Filenames!

Hey guys,

Greg has just informed me that because we are converting to Canvas from BrainHoney, when the editors are linking images into the courses for the new platform, media with filenames that have any spaces in them will not link properly in the course.

So, for example, a file named: "amelia is cool.jpg" won't link, but if you named it "amelia_is_cool.jpg" with underscores, dashes, or something else in the place of where a space would be, they link fine. Just something to consider when you're making new media for the canvas conversion or when you're renaming things. It isn't life or death if you forget to do this, but the editors will probably just not be super thrilled to delete a bunch of spaces in all the files they need to link.

Stay spicy
