IoannisSyrogiannis 2025-04-19 14:02 reporter ~0006932	Does that make a difference, unless those characters (or space) appear on the DCP title or annotation text? (Which can be a huge problem.) Is it a concern, to rename a DCP folder or parent folder in a NAS or LAS, the file system of which support such characters? Personally, I don't like those characters in any storage, but I find a lot of them on work environments and I am not sure if I should endorse the "should NOT" attitude.
