Is it a problem with octane or the Blender plugin that files names cant have spaces?
Recently got a new job and there is a network folder that has a separate folder for each employee. I want to use my folder as the default path so everything is backed up and accessible from other computers. Problem is, the root folder has two words and a space. I cant change it because then everybody elses file associations get wrong.

Any way to change this?

can anyone tell me if this is a blender exporter problem, or an Octane problem?

Early versions of Octane didn't support file or folder names with spaces in them, so I enforced 'good' names into the exporter. Now Octane has much more tolerance, I may remove the restriction in a future release of the exporter, if any.

I would greatly appreciate it. Right now, I can't export to our network drive, and if I later move the files to the network drive, the file associations wont be the same.

In Linux you would just make a symbolic link to the folder in question (network drive with spaces in name) and use that link path inside Blender/Octane. Doesn't the system you use have such option?
