Hey! I found an easy workaround to the problem of diacriticals in folder names.
I got the list of paths by recursively getting all of the folders, including
the diacritical ones I had trouble with.
The folders function lists these folders, but there is a folder reported that
diacritical ones did
Sure! It’s called the, “Apple OS”. ;-)
Not sure about the graphical stuff tho’. Also, not sure how you would go about
installing it.

Hello y'all,
I'm using version 6.6.2 of LiveCode, running on a UNIX machine.
I'm not sure if I have brought this up before, but..
there is a problem with folder names that contain diacriticals.
put getCurrentFolder() Acériculture into myFolder1
put getCurrentFolder() Acericulture into

Does Livecode work on UNIX?
If so why is this not more widely publicised?

To Richmond: YES, LiveCode runs on UNIX machines. Btw, MetaCard was first
developed for UNIX, then Windows, then Mac.
To Richard: Thanks for the nudge to use/test version 7, but I am swamped with
work right-now, I do not have time, and I cannot risk using something beta at
this time.

inappropriately large on
Yup, thanks for confirming that, Mark.
