[RMXP] Filenames with spaces causing errors?

I just realized that almost all my files (graphics, music, etc.) have spaces in them. E.g. "0052 - Blue Letter_2". Does anyone know if there's a chance / this will cause problems on some computers/systems?

It might. I mean, if you're showing a picture and it's looking for "@actor.png", you'll have a problem if you have "@actor surname.png" or something. Know what I mean?
I just use one worded filenames for the sake of argument.
 
Hmm, yea, but that's a bit different. ^^ I mean, then the filename is simply wrong, and if looking for @actor.png, @actorsurname.png wouldn't be found either.

I'm just interested in if someone here has real issues with playing the game if resources have spaces in their names. Like how old (really old) games/computers needed to have filenames with short names and no spaces / strange symbols.~ I'm guessing it's not a problem though, or someone would'a jumped on top of this topic already. ^^

Right, right. I caught that after I sent that.
But no, (I'm using VX) and I have a character model I friend send me called "wooden floor" and it works.
But for XP, I wouldn't think it much different. I just don't do it for the sake that I know it'll work. :\
