Files with special character (é, ü, etc. wont be shared)
« on: January 16, 2008, 12:32:33 PM »
I notice that in the 2.1.3 and the 2.2.0 CVS filenames with special character wont be shared.

How to reproduce: Just grabe a random file and rename it to something like "día libre - Freier Film, der über eMule verteilt wird.avi", put it in your shared folder go to the shared files tab and hit refresh. It will never apear there.

I guess that it is the same bug. With aMule SVN Snapshot :
 Sun Feb 10 07:02:44 CET 2008, I get the following:
Code: [Select]
...
Adding file /mnt/data/amule/temp/334.part.met to shares
No shareable files found in directory: /mnt/data/amule/incoming/
No shareable files found in directory: /mnt/data/amule/releases/
After renaming the only one file in the releases dir, I get:
Code: [Select]
...
Adding file /mnt/data/amule/temp/338.part.met to shares
No shareable files found in directory: /mnt/data/amule/incoming/
I have an UTF-8 system and I am using french locales. I removed the "-" and "[]" from the filename and it worked like a workaround.

Hi libre,

Could you put this file alone in a directory and do
Code: [Select]
$ ls > a.txtAnd then post a.txt here?

And I take it that the file was not listed in the shared-files list before you renamed it?
And that it became listed after you renamed it?

The reason why I ask is that the "No shareable files found" messages gets displayed also
if the directory only contains files that are already shared elsewhere (this was fixed a few
days ago).

It is a few strange isuues I observed today:

* The file was in the shared list before I renamed it but I get this "No shareable files found ..." message.

* After renaming the file and reloading the shared file list, it is in the shared list and I don't get the message for the release dir but I still get the message for the incoming dir where it is plenty of file (both regular files and symlinked files, but this seams to doesn't matter).

* After booting the machine today and when starting amule or reloading the shared file, I get the "No shareable files found ..." message for both directories but the files are in the shared list.

* It seams like amule is able to share some files in the incoming directory, but the other mule's users get no sources for the file in the shared directory.

When you write that this was fixed a few days ago, I am using the 2008-02-10 tarball. So I will try the last one.

Code: [Select]
$ cat a.txt
a.txt
Aya Sugimoto pictures ENFIN Q TANGO PORNO caressex eMuleBDX.tar.bz2

EDIT: After upgrading to 2008-02-17, this issue is solved. I also noticed just before restarting amule with this new version, that, with the new filename, the other clients was able to see it and start downloading it.

Thanks for the good work!  ;D

Just one detail, no need to do it anymore, but you misunderstood what I said. I have asked you to place the file as an attachment because the bulletin board software may alter the characters in some way. But now this will only serve to the next time once this issue is solved.

Cheers!
