Attachment illegal character renaming

Okay, would someone mind pointing out where the Attachment script renames illegal characters, and if it would be possible for me to disable the renaming of certain characters? i.e. it converts (8)Rivers.scx to 8Rivers.scx, it converts Black Death.scx to Black_Death.scx... I want it to stop changing a space to an underscore, and to stop dropping parenthesis... Some of these files have issues if they're renamed. My server can handle spaces, parenthesis etc without a problem, and so I want to edit the attachments routine to make it stop renaming... just wanted to know where it was, and if doing so would cause any terrible issues...

Okay, I found the line that changed spaces to underscores, took care of that, however the  line that removes "illegal" characters replaces the following:

/[^\w_.-]/

Is this some special PHP argument or something? Trying to figure out how to get it to stop killing (), but I am having trouble seeing where the ( and ) are specified.

you should be able to change it to /[^\w_.-\(\)]/ to stop it from replaceing the ( and )

I am having the underscore problem with my users.  When I did the conversion, it put underscores where a space should be.  I got about 25 emails today from people having that problem.  Is there a fix for it?
