@Bill,

Thank you for sharing your approach!

Renaming files to replace spaces with underscores is a great way to avoid issues with file paths. The `rename` utility is indeed a handy tool for this, and using it to replace spaces with underscores can make handling files much smoother, especially in scripts or command-line operations.

It’s always good to have multiple methods to handle file naming conventions.

Appreciate the tip!
