Makes CLI involving the space a pain. Use an underscore if you must have a visual space, but best practices would be to use Camel Case, no punctuation (including spaces), and include the date in Gregorian format CCYYMMDD
I don’t know if any given system shall issues or could handle it fine, but I know some systems cannot handle spaces in file names. There is no reason to tempt fate.
It is a filename not a PR press release. How it looks is irrelevant to how the system handles it. Want the display to show something other than the file name is easy and doesn’t risk errors, unlike punctuation in filenames which creates problems and solves none.

Then IMO it shouldn’t matter that there is a space in it. I disagree with your viewpoints and I think if someone wants a space or punctuation in their filename, they should be able to do that without problems.
Your opinion does not matter. Nor does the presentation upon the screen, which is what you are actually asking for. The reality was explained and you are stamping your feet and holding your breath.

@TigrisMorte I don’t think camel case would make sense for files such as books, music or movies when you want the name to look proper.
