    Hi,
    I've just discovered a problem that I hope can be fixed.

    We have numerous content editors who are uploading documents. Most (if not all) of these editor have named their files using spaces, i.e. "product specs.doc"

    When someone tries to save this document to their hard drive, DMX ignores everything after the space, so the above file would be then named "product" with no extension. If they then try to re-upload this as a new version, since it no longer has an extension, DMX doesn't know what type of file it is and the file icon that shows next to the item is simply a page with a question mark on it. This also makes it confusing because if the original editor saves the file to their machine, it won't write over the original document (unless the editor specifically selects the original doc), so they would then have both a document named "product specs.doc" as well as one named "product".

    Is there any way to force DMX to keep the full name intact, regardless of spaces in the name?

    Sorry to waste anyone's time. I just read the "Downloading files in Firefox" and this appears to be a Firefox issue.

    I need to do a better job of searching before I post.
