spaces in file names hinder further processing

In a few occasions I noticed that functions do not work correctly due to
filenames that contain spaces. E.g. the result of an image calculation on
Image.tif is automatically renamed into "Result of Image.tif". Further
steps, e.g the Ecoli analysis plugin, gets stuck unless the filename is
renamed to e.g. Result_of_Image.tif.

I suggest that functions in ImageJ, and certainly the standard ones, like
Image Calculator, only produce filenames without spaces. I suggest that
spaces are replaced with underscores.
