not sharing files with regional filenames

Confirmed, if there are non-utf8-encoded filenames, all kinds of errors can be seen.

How to make test case in bash:
1. Use UTF-8 locale.
2. Run the following script in sh:

-------8<-------
#!/bin/sh
echo -e 'file-not-utf8-\0231' | xargs touch
mkdir dir
cd dir
echo -e 'file-in-dir-not-utf8-\0231' | xargs touch --
cd ..
echo -e 'directory-not-utf8-\0231' | xargs mv dir --
------->8-------

You'll have this hierarchy:
file-not-utf8-?
directory-not-utf8-?
+- file-in-dir-not-utf8-?

Please know that many less than industrial-strength utilities don't like this at all: be careful.

@matej_bb: Are your filenames utf-8 encoded?

also affects my mp3 collection : even with : LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.utf8
LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8
LC_COLLATE=en_GB.utf8
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8
LC_PAPER=en_GB.utf8
LC_NAME=en_GB.utf8
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.utf8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.utf8
LC_ALL=

I think this is solved since 1.03, if everything works as it should, all files shared ...

lys is this solved for you like it is for matej_bb? I was unable to reproduce it myself. If we could use glib's g_filename_to_utf8 it would reduce the likelihood of this occurring, but we can't since the core can't have a dependence on glib.

Hi,
yes, it is solved for me a long time ago, since 1.0.3 if I remember
correctly.
Sincerely,
Matej
