I'm coming back to this conversation late, but I also am very careful
how I name directories and files under all OSs so that there is reduced
chance of paths breaking. Totally old-school, I know, but I still use
underscores instead of spaces for naming EVERYTHING on computers, and never
use anything other than the basic alphanumerics. Between Mac, Windows,
Linux, Dropbox, Box, Synology DiskStation, FTP, etc. I don't even use
RTF for text docs. It's ".txt" all the way!

Some day I might try some of these newfangled TIFF and JPG things,
instead of tried and true TGA, but I'm suspicious.  :D

:D Awesome! Yes I am normally quite strict with this but might have missed a few spaces...
