I'm importing a set of images that have spaces in the file names. Is there any easy way to make the import process be affected by the Transliteration module so that the spaces are removed during the import process?

This would be really great, since it would also fix the diacritic problem.
If you be any chance find some work around, please let me know.

Hi, I've tried to make a patch. It seems to work for me, perhaps it has possible bugs of overwriting files with names differing only for certain non ASCII characters. Let me now if it passes regression tests.

Would love to see more testing on this one. My experience with transliteration is severely limited.

the patch doesn't seem to work
trying to import files with non ASCII chars and it returns an error: "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."

I think that this should not be the part of import module!

Only the needed feature is to accept filefield_paths settings in that field. Filefield_paths module transliterates it through pathauto and pathauto gets it through transliteration module.

Currently i do not know any problem why it should not work with filefield_paths, because i just found this module so i will test it tomorrow and will let you know.

This is Drupal way!
