[SOLVED] question about naming files

[brannsiu]

Hi,
which way of renaming a file is better?

For example

1. information_about_travelling.txt
2. information about travelling.txt

Is 1 or 2 better?

Would it have problem if I leave space (e.g. 2) in the filename when it is transferred and read across different devices and operating system?

Being old school, #1 is better.
More universally compatible across all OS and applications.

Some things may treat a space weirdly.

windows is fine with spaces, but linux is not so happy about it,

so if you plan on using it outside of windows, then the _ is the way to go. i hate them personally, but working with linux it is impossible to not get confused without them.
