Mind you these two facts: * USB mass-storage devices came into being after Linux switched to UTF-8 * The number of USB flash drives with Unix filesystems is incredibly small That means the number of USB flash drives containing Unix filesystems that aren't UTF-8 encoded will be effectively zero. VFAT doesn't count, since it stores the file names as UTF-16. If you're not getting the right file names, your system is misconfigured. The only one that poses trouble are ISO-9660 CD-ROMs that have Rock Ridge extensions for Unix attributes and longer file names. Do people still have CD drives? -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
