    Default Allow spaces etc in filenames when uploading

    With the new uber-uploader progress bar it stops anyone uploading files with spaces in or other chars such as ' [] etc. it also has a 32 letter filename limit.

    you can turn off this annoying feature by editing /include/settings/uu_conlib.php and changing "check_file_name_format" to

    $check_file_name_format = 0;

    Default upgraded to v2.7 - now have this same problem

    Just upgraded to 2.7 from 2.6. Attempting to upload files now gets a warning about too many characters. Moving the file to the desktop which means there are less subdirectory paths fixes this problem but then the complaint is that I have invalid characters.
    I think the / characters in the path to the file are not being ignored in the valid character checking.

    Where is this and maybe I have something else I missed when setting up the progress bar upload?
