Question concerning Save to Web and Devices

Hallo, the following warning dialog used to appear in Photoshop CS2 and I used to think it was a quirk , seeing as the program was so old. But now I've upgraded at last to CS5.5 I'm surprised to still see it appear. And confused as well, I really can't see what it wants when I'm saving the png file in Save to Web and Devices......

"Some names of the files being saved contain non-Latin characters. These file names will be incompatible with some Web browsers and servers"

I've tried :

Filename
FileName
File Name
filename
file name
filename1
etc., you get the idea... it doesn't like any of them.

What do you WANT, Photoshop! Any help appreciated, thanks, and I'll prepare myself to emit a very loud "D'oh" :-)

Edit: I've just found out what's required:

File-name (or file-name, etc). That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, does it? Without the dash, the characters are all Latin form but Photoshop doesn't think so, wanting a dash to make it OK....

And also, learning from Darren and Wayne's optimiser program, file names with hyphens aren't acceptable in GameSalad (and it gives you the option to have the program automatically change it, from, say, file-name to file_name...

Edit again: I get it now - for the record - it needs filenames in the form of file_name. So what is the reason that all filenames need an underscore? Strange to me that you can't have a filename without it.... any thoughts, anyone?

PS For info, it does accept filenames in the form of file-name without the warning, but beware, if you didn't know, GSC doesn't like that form.

    did you try 'namefile' ??? :))

    no caps?
    no underline?
    revert to old eight-letter lowercase name? (nah, nameChar limit is 32)

    think you are not alone … I googled it for you … lots of hits!

    I even tried nail file, MH! But another warning dialog came up which said this filename is not suitable with false nails. ;-)
