[suggestion] Automatically remove spaces from the beginning and end of page names

Post by Jensen Head »

That is, treat spaces the same way Windows File Explorer treats them in file and folder names.

I can't think of any situations where the user would intentionally need such spaces. However, there could be problems with actual mismatches in the names of two pages despite their apparent identity.

Hello, Jensen Head

I have passed this along for review, though as usual I cannot make any promises.

[update]
This will be improved in the next release (b397)

Kind regards,

Re: [suggestion] Automatically remove spaces from the beginning and end of page names  SOLVED

Currently, if a file name is specified when it's first saved, prefix spaces are removed, but suffix spaces remain.
If the rename function for an open document is used, spaces are removed from both the beginning and end.

I assume this implementation was deemed the best by the developers (regardless of the rationale).

Thank you!
