Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

When adding new artists, the default path contains spaces. It is not possible to configure the root directory of the artists via the file management for example to replace spaces with an underscores.

Now it is required to change the path manually which is annoying, when lidarr contains hundreds of artists.

How can the space character be replaced from the default?

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be an option to adjust the default in the storage pool settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered

How can the spaces in a large library of all artists/interpreters be replaced by underscores and the directories on the disk renamed automatically - via script or API? An example would be desirable. Manual procedure is not feasible with the number of artists.

Anything else?
