Thanks for the reply Frank1940 ! I think the best should be not using "space" and use "dot" or "underscore", i'll make some test on filename to see which one is better looking ! I don't know much about Linux, so I'll make it simple ! Is there a simple way to rename a lot of files and folders, like a script ? And is there a maximum character limit in filename/folder ?

Hi All ! I'm new to Unraid and planning to get the license in a few days, so if a license is needed for solving the problem I'll do it ! I searched everywhere and maybe I just didn't find the right topic, but (like the title said) does space, dot or underscore in a filename/folder is better or required ? Everything seems to be depending on what people like better but I didn't find the answer. I was on Windows and using EMBY, so my files and folder are all containing space, but now I'm moving to Unraid and will still be using EMBY, so I want to do things correctly. I'm a French Canadian, so the French title is not the same as in Europe so I need to put the good title in the filename. For example the movie "The Switch" : The European title is "Une famille très moderne" that means "A very modern family",..., not even close to the original title ! So my file look like: L'Échange (The Switch) (2010).mkv Actually I move all files ( NFO, JPG, etc..) in the same folder of the movie and yes, the folder and files have the same name. I know in Windows we could run a batch file or even use Notepad++, but I wonder if replacing space is really necessary. If so, does a plugin or scrypt exist ? And just remember I'm new, so maybe a video or step by step will be appreciated. So in resume, 1- Does space, dot or underscore in a Filename/Folder is a problem ? 2- If yes, what is better to use ? 3- What is the best way to change files/folder names ? 4- BONUS : Is there a character limit in filename ? Thanks to all of you, sorry my english is not very great, i'm using Google translate sometimes ! 😄
