[edit] On the wordpress
Wordpress for reasons that escape me sanitizes the file names before uploading. This makes it really hard to guess what the final file name is. So I disabled the most annoying checks. I removed the tolower statement that converts all the uppercase characters to lower case, and removed conversion of '_' to '-'
changed wp-includes/formatting.php
function sanitize_file_name( $name ) { // Like sanitize_title, but with periods
$name = strtolower( $name );
$name = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $name); // kill entities
$name = str_replace( '_', '-', $name );
$name = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\s-_.]/', '', $name);
$name = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $name);
$name = preg_replace('|-+|', '-', $name);
$name = trim($name, '-');
return $name;
}
