      I’ve always liked underscores better because it differentiates from the file extension. It just makes sense. Except it is a wider character, so it’d be longer.

        well if you’re using a mono font (terminal) then there are no such thing as wider characters anyway, so for me that’s not a drawback either

        What happens when a hyphen is used in a movie title? I think that’s frequent enough, versus an underscore or a period.

          Semi colons wouldn’t be valid in file names so they’re ignored so there’s no reason to include hyphens either
