Doubt on LogFile Naming …

[HB9TZA]

Hallo Andrew,
I appreciated your Note ” Confirming and sendiong LOG” but a doubt arose rwading it. You wrote<:
Q: How should I name the log file?
A: {callsign} @ {reference} {date}.{extension}
{callsign} is the callsign used
Note: use hyphens ‘-‘ in place of the slashes ‘/’
… omissis …
eg: M0YMA-P @ GFF-0354 20191209.ADI
I named them until now as callsign@reference_date.extension
Now I see that there are spaces, hence my doubs:
so i.e. HB9TZA@HBFF-0123_20210805.adi
should become HB9TZA @ HBFF-0123 202120805.ADI
with all these spaces ????

Please confirm if I have correctly understood; I am ready to change the names of the future logs, but I weould like to have a confirm that these spaces are correct; personally I find them odd, hi.
I will also fwd your note above to our HB Activators, as some of them criticize a lot the need of some info field in adif.

Many many thanks again, Andrew; 73 44 es FB!

I too have seen strange behavior regarding log file names.

Yesterday Logsearch said it was rejecting a log file due to a name issue, despite the name meeting the name convention {callsign} @ {reference} {date}.{extension} but the file was still accepted for upload on the QSOs were added to Logsearch.

VK port-a-log names the file as {callsign}@{reference}_{yyyymmdd}.adi
e.g. VK3ZPF@VKFF-2224_20200111.adi which, up until recently, have passed the Logsearch upload process without warning.

Please advise if the {callsign}@{reference}_{yyyymmdd}.adi is no longer acceptable.
