Unicode Support

[wrio]

Whats the meaning of search the formum for unicode? Are there solutions?

[SelfMan]

no there are none, Unicode is simply not supported by Salamander and if you searched for the word unicode, you would get many results that say its not supported and it is unlikely that it will ever be. The developers have set Salamander free and have no more time for further development. There might be some fixes if bugs appear but thats all.
There is a option for Code Page Conversion Tables, but thats only for Central Europe, Cyrilic or Western Europe and is used for Viewers and code page convert plugin.
Options > Configuration > Language > Code page conversion tables

Unicode support itself is a VERY complicated and complex thing and its not easy to implement.

If the Unicode support will take longer,
can Altap open source the basic salamander and let community build features?

On top of that they can sell the enhanced functionality/plugins as paid option.

They finally got the project on Github under Open Salamander name, but even provisional Unicode support is still missing (not even mentioning compiled executables)

Oh, thats very great. Thank you for that information.

EDIT: But there doesn't seem to be that much going on.

Most work is done on the source code comment translation from Czech to English.

I just stumbled onto AS and I like it. I would really like to have this added to AS. I've been adding all my CD's into my music server, and I found out that the world music databases use a lot of non standard Unicode Symbols. So sorting through my music catalog i can't use AS. (bummer) More then that, I's really sad to see this post originally started back in 2015/2016 and nothing has been done that I know of...

If any one knows of a plugin or work around to this and getting AS to use Unicode please respond...

Thanks,

James.
