Spring which year?

I'd love to try this with the chinese character file names I use - but I can't access the network using anything above 6.10.0071 *sigh*

Still, if you really can do this now, that rocks

No, it's not what you think. It just works with Chinese versions of Windows.

Ah, bugger - strange that it can do it if Windows is Chinese, but not if it isn't...

Yes, I'm surprised, too. But the screenshots of hapocn prove it.

FYI, in Vista Ultimate, you can install a language pack for free to switch between German and Chinese, for example. This renaming thing works in this case, I think, even if your Vista is orignally in German.

I have Vista Business in Japanese and can confirm that this renaming thing works. Not only that, the tip info can display the Japanese word for "Date created", for exmaple, when the pointer hovers over it.

A minor thing is the propety tab in the info panel.

The "ftf@fC..." thing is the Japanese word for "file". Is it possible to fix this?

Oh, you can even type Japanese in the "find files" tab and find file(s) named so!

Oh, interesting and nice to know!

I could fix this, but are these 2 labels on the properties tab really the only places that need the fix?

Actually not. This one seems to be a tough one.

The right-most tab is the problem. (The "yen" symbol is used in place of "\" throughout Windows, so it's fine.) This tab displays the letters fine when I go there in the middle of XY operation. But when I save everything, close XY, and start it again, the tab is messed up. FYI, the tab in question is c:\Users\(your PC name)\Documents\My Fonts. (Vista in English). The messed up part is the Japanese word for "document". It says "Currently not available", but there is something under "My Fonts". Now, if I click this location in the tree, it displays fine. So not a major problem.

The second one:

I can, for the life me, figure out what the debris at the bottom would be in English or Japanese

Regarding the new beta, some context menu items are in J., but they get shown as debris in the status bar.

Lastly, as I said above, I gave one file a Japanese name and searched that file by typing that name in the box. Now I have that name as the value of RemoveParticularChars= in yxplorer.ini. Is it OK to have Japanese characters in the .ini file

Yeah, I know, these things never go away unless unicode is supported. So I stop babbling.

That's the crucial question, and the answer is No. That's what I believe at least. However, XY can handle saving and restoring tabs to/from INI that have (e.g.) Chinese characters. How that? I convert them to UTF8 when saving and reconvert them to Unicode when reading.

I wonder why this does not work with your Japanese...

One more thing about strange behavior. It's about renaming. If the name has Latin alphabet and Japanese letters mixed and I try it rename it by first hitting backspace, when the cursor moves from the Japanese part to the Latin part, the extesion gets deleted. If the file has an associated icon, that gets deleted too.

Sounds like Unicode hell. I would love to fix it but it's hard without having the Japanese. Generally, XY does not support renaming such files since I currently don't have a textbox that supports unicode.

Yeah, I understand. But at least it sounds like I can have more hope about unicode that those "2-pane people" do about 2 panes, haha.

Yes, you can!
