Macintosh Filenames

Post by magenta54 »

Hi,
when having Files on the harddisc coming from Apple Macintosh collegues the Umlauts are from the Mac Codepages. When the normal Explorer you can work with such files, with Altap Salamander you can't. System tells "cant find that file".

e.g.
ÄnderungenInfrastruktur2014.docx

Can you fix that with one of the next updates?

Just curious: how do you get these files on your disk? By checking out from a version control system? Then you need to be aware that on OS X umlauts are stored as two characters, in your case one for A and one for the two dots. That way you can create a new file on Windows in the same directory that looks the same but has a different character/byte sequence! Supporting unicode alone does not solve this problem.
