 * I’m having issues when an user upload a photo that contains special characters
   on the filename, like ++ or #!.
 * Is there a way to validate photo(or file) filename when the user upload it or
   overwritten it to a safer name?
 * Cheers

 * I’m having the same issue. When the user upload a photo with special characters
   on the filename, the photo doesn’t show up on the front-end.
