You should. 0.5.4 is pretty buggy with respect to character set handling. > I'll do it as soon as I have > time. I also want to take a look at the sources to see how file names > are handled. Uh... you actually don't want to know that. It's an insane mix of Qt's own routines (e.g. FileDialog), std::string and Unix system calls which causes nothing but trouble. > I thought there is a way to query the system for the > character encoding used for file names of a given partition.

The problem is that the kernel doesn't interpret file names (except the "/" and "\0" characters). The're treated like a string of bytes, and many file systems (eg. ext2/ext3) just store them that way. It's up to the application to give them meaning. Some always write ASCII or Latin-1 encoded file names, others use UTF-8, and yet another group honors the LC_* variables (or LANG, in your case). I hope that the latest versions of dvbcut belong to the latter group. I'm not sure, though. If you're using other file systems (FAT, NTFS, maybe also SMB/CIFS), these rules aren't valid any longer, though. NTFS, for example, uses UCS-2 (or UTF-16?) encoding internally, so the kernel has to translate. How it does that depends on the mount options.
