Bad filename handling
« on: April 02, 2004, 04:08:43 PM »
Hello,
I noticed that there is a problem in writing filenames containing extending characters.

I put in queue a file named:
Somename.Cafè.-.Puntata.49.-.alta.qualità.avi

And when it is completed it is written in the filesystem as:
Somename.Caf?.-.Puntata.49.-.alta.qualit?.avi

Note that I could rename correctly the file in the shell.

Hope to be useful.

Thanx a lot for the report!
Added to Known Bugs list.
I guess it will be fixed when Unicode support is complete, but that's just a guess.

Greetings.

Forgot to point out that incoming and temp are both on FAT32.

I don't have this problem in an ext2 partition.
Locally files are completed with right file name, if I access them with samba i get weird file names, but this must be samba problem.
Not tested with fat32.

I have the similar problem.
You are in the better situation.

In my case, I put a file named:
t¹ -ˆÈ.mp3
When completed, it's written as
-.mp3

I use amule 2.0.0rc3.

Oh.. it seems this site doesn't support my language. so I attach a snapshot.

Frankk: " I don't have this problem in an ext2 partition." I have it with ext3, so I guess it's not filesystem dependent, but sys configuration problem. Frankk,  FOR GOD'S SAKE, tell us your whole system configuration! ;-)
Also, the samba problem is some samba issue, but you already knew that.

Diesis: Check your charcode and codepage options when mounting your fat32 filesystem. CHeck `man mount`for the vfat mount options.

still thinking it's an unicode issue.

If this is an unicode issue, Can't this be fixed?
I couldn't find this problem when using amule 1.2.6.
