As soon as nautilus is capable of browsing remote locations with ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] or ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED] or smb://... or whanever, there is always a chance that the "foreign" information is incomplete, or wrong, or unknown, such that automatic methods to display it would not work. It makes no sense to try to resolve everything automatically.
However, this problem is solved long ago in web browsers. If the user sees a page rendered incorrectly, she can choose the encoding manually. What I would expect in nautilus is click on "view" menu item and see the item "encoding". Click on it, and choose between "auto" or whatever encoding is there, and nautilus re-reads the files list using the new encoding to render the filenames. Just like in Firefox, Opera, IE ... Is it too complicated to give the user a chance feel herself smarter than computer? The same applies to the majority of text editors in various GUIs, by the way. -- Wrong encoding when viewing network hosts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
