I have this problem in both Windows 7 and XP (I run both)... when I download something, when I go to save it, many times the file name by default looks like this:
devildriver_clouds_over_california.gp5
But that's a horrible way to view your files(for me anyways)... I ALWAYS rename EVERY file I download to read in this format:
Devildriver - Clouds Over California.gp5
I know that when you are downloading the file you can rename it then, but this gets seriously annoying when I have to rename tens or hundreds of files. Yes, I know about mass file renaming utilities, and programs like Tag & Rename Mp3 Batch Editor, which I currently use for mp3 file renaming. But why the hell can't I set things up so that whenever a file is downloaded from any source, underscores are replaced with spaces and the first letter of every word is capitalized?
Also, certain sites that I download from replace spaces with an even more annoying %20. I would also like to automatically have these files renamed to my preferred format upon download. I don't want to have to run any renaming utilities later, I wnat this to happened automatically so that no renaming is needed when downloading any file. Just save to my preferred naming format automatically.
Is there a setting within Windows that I can change so that files I download are saved in my preferred format? A registry setting maybe? I use firefox, so maybe an addon or setting in firefox? A greasemonkey script? I do not want to use any third party software to go through and rename files after they downloaded, I want the file name to read as I have shown above by default so that no renaming needs to be done later. Can this be done, and if so, how?
