**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 5.2.3  
My PHP version is: 8.2  
My Database type and version is: MySQL 8.x

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
When I drag and drop an image file to the media library (elfinder), it automatically removes the underscores in the filename.  
This was not always the case.  
I don’t want it to do that.  
I want it to keep the filename as is.  
Is there a way to fix that?  
A configuration somewhere?  
A workaround?
