**As an** OpenProject user
**I want** special characters in file names of uploaded files not to be substituted with underscores
**so that** I can easily identify uploaded files through their names as I know them.
## Current behaviour
Currently when uploading a file special characters and spaces are substituted with underscores when uploaded. For instance:
`new file (1).txt` -> `new_file__1__.txt`
Presumably this is a behaviour that had been introduced to avoid problems with special characters on the file system.
These days this is likely not necessary anymore. Just in case it is for some users one could make this configurable.
