That is fixed on latests libgtk+1.2 in cooker.


Is the directory mounted in utf8 ?
What is your /etc/fstab ?

You must have iocharset=utf8 and no codepage= 

If it was from a fresh install it's a DrakX problem, it must put utf8
when utf-8 is used as the encoding.

If it was from an update... maybe we should detect it, and, if utf-8
is selected during the update, and an iocharset=... with a different
value is present on /etc/fstab, tell the user if he wants it to be
fixed, yes/no. and if he tells yes, to fix it (remove codepage=...
and change iocharset to iocharset=utf8).

A window should be displayed telling that non-ascii filenames on
native linux partitions may need manual conversion; for this:
- open a terminal in the old encoding (eg "LC_ALL=sk_SK xterm")
- rename the files like this:
  i=oldfilename
  mv "$i" "`echo $i |iconv -t utf-8`"

With gnome-terminal you don't even need to open a new terminal,
just go to terminal->charset encoding  menu, and make it have both the old
encoding and utf-8. then you can switch between the two encodings at
any time, that is, you can do:

<switch to latin2>mv typeinlatin2 <switch to utf8>typeinutf8<enter>

Maybe we could provide a small utility to convert the files;
with two file lists, side by side.
and two "<---" and "--->"  allowing to convert the filenames easily.
Only non-ascii filenames showing (ascii only are irrelevant),
invalid utf-8 sequences on the left, valid ones on the right.
The charset used for the left part being configurable trough a menu,
the default value being taken from the LC_CTYPE value with ".UTF-8"
stripped (that is: "LC_CTYPE=`echo $LC_CTYPE|cut -d'.' -f1` locale charmap`")
if it happens to be also UTF-8, then set iso-8859-1 as the default.

  

But that happens for people that wants UTF-8.
If we don't provide them UTF-8 they will choose another distribution.

Hello,

I've just installed RC2. First I noticed that font in xmms (and other gtk1 apps)
is too big, second the file dialog was not able to browse dir tree correctly. On
the roght list, where should be only files, I got the entries like this:
../mp3/David Bowie - Lodger/01.mp3
along with the files from some othe directory I did not chose.
The files was placed on ntfs partition.
