I did a quick test yesterday and everything worked except the background image. But again made in Windows and seen in Windows, so it's not safe to assume a general behavior. But even if that's true, allowing special characters in paths and filenames is a BAD thing, particularly if it goes to a web server. The easy way is to leave it in the user's hands. As I said before, the first thing I learned -- and teach-- is to avoid special characters -and spaces- in filenames for webpages. But of course we should, if possible, protect the user from himself. > inclination is to replace all special characters with an underline That seems fair (and, as a side effect, a way to teach users to avoid their special characters; I'd quickly learn to type "proteina estupida.spt" instead of "proteína estúpida.spt" if the system provides me with "prote_na_est_pida.spt" for the latter) > the javaname that is used to generate script and image names.

I guess than when we have in Jmol languages that use 2-bit characters (we don't have any yet, do we?) the problems will arise in more places than this one. If you can, you should allow also hyphen and underscore.

There are all chances that they'll try to do so, unfortunately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Jmol-developers mailing list Jmol-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-developers
