- Press F2 in a search results list and you get to rename a file in place. You type in or paste a file name starting with some spaces, and 1.5a ignores any leading spaces, which versions 1.4 and earlier have had no problem handling properly.
- I don't know about previous versions of 1.5a, but this has persisted since 1.5.0.1402a, the first 1.5a version I tried.

Thank you for your feedback johnlee,
Everything 1.5 will strip the leading and trailing white spaces like Windows Explorer.
To allow leading and trailing white spaces:
Press Shift + F2 to use the advance rename which will allow any filename.
Regards,
David

Wow, I was just editing the title a bit when you got back to me so fast that I got a bit startled

Stupid of me not to even think about looking into the Advanced Options.
It worked like a charm. THANKS!
