    Spaces are illegal characters within URLs, which is why they are replaced with hyphens. You cannot prevent this action.

    However, when Simple File List 4 is released, hopefully in the next few weeks, there will be an additional setting that will allow you to switch the hyphens back to spaces for display purposes. Spaces within file names will still be replaced, but they will be restored for the display.

    You’ll also be able to hide file extension if you choose.

    SFL-4 is now out. Once you update, go to the Display Settings tab to preserve file name spaces. You can also now hide extensions if you want too.
