However, we don't *really* have to use the same

as we use as a title. This seems to me like it would be better
implemented by mangling the filename somehow. The invalid Windows/DOS
characters are supposedly:
? [ ] / \ = + < > : ; " ,
Of those, I think the following are currently legal in image names
(before your commit):
? \ = + : ; " ,
I was just reading the FAT specification and +,;=[] are valid
characters for FAT drivers that support LFN (Long File Names) which is
basically everything starting from Windows 95.
To be exact, under FAT a file name is allowed to contain any letters,
digits or characters with code point above 127. Also the following
characters are allowed: $%'-_@~`!(){}^#& For Windows 95 and above the
characters mentioned above are allowed as well.
I don't know about NTFS though.
