Resource types

I second this query in the hope it jumps to the top of the list and is seen by someone much cleverer than me.

This has not been such a big issue in the past for us when working with NT/IIS but our new moodle install runs on Debian/Apache and we have hit a brick wall dealing with apostrophes in existing filenames.

Teaching staff are understandably unsympathetic to our plea to insert improper english into their naming conventions and to do so would be a huge job since Moodle cannot display, move, rename or delete any of these files.

I've noticed Moodle swapping spaces for underscores in renamed/uploaded files. Would it be possible to strip apostrophes in a similar way?

Cheers
