Views Summary could be more effectively integrated to support Pathauto URLs.

(1) Views Summary, by default, uses a "+" between words in the URL. Pathauto can accept nearly any character as a delimiter between words - however, using a character other than "+" will not be recognized when passing a parameter to Views Summary. (As a side note, Pathauto displays the "+" as the decoded " " whereas Views Summary displays the "+" - not a problem from a functional perspective, though could be slightly confusing either to users or to crawlers.)

(2) Pathauto has a "replace string" function to remove useless words (i.e., "the" or "to") from URLs. Views Summary has no way to process parameters that have been shortened by Pathauto. (So, VIews Summary might recognize /the-building whereas Pathauto, with "replace string" turned on would create /building.

I hope this helps.

This is interesting, but I'm not sure what, specifically, I need to change to actually support pathauto meaningfully.
