Doesn't the icon alarm you sufficiently? Should I better use a skull icon? :wink:

Hm, getting a bit OT here, but:

it's about info "getting your attention" if you don't look there - and that's about color and size. And the text adds quite a bit to the size of the icon :roll:

Sure, but if there is text it should be readable. IMO the current color (next beta) is a good choice.

2) When you rename a file, is typing those characters possible then? In other words, can you type those characters into an edit box?
1) Thank you admin, it looks much better now (sorry for off-topic)

2) Yes I can rename them however I want, just can not typeahead them.
Typeahead normalizes(?) some characters to ASCII versions (something like this: â → a, ö → o)

OK, thanks, I thought so. I will try to fix that, but my hopes are low...

UPDATE: No chance. This cannot be fixed.

Can you tell me the technical details why this cannot be fixed? I want to understand

Did you try a Turkish keyboard layout?

The Edit Box control has the necessary skills to handle this type of input, but the List in XYplorer is a different control, it does not have that skill.

There might be a possibility to redirect the keyboard input to an invisible edit box. That would need further research, I'll make a note...

This issue happens on Notepad2-mod too (A C++ Notepad project):

In ANSI encoding mode:
  • "ğ" turns "g"
  • "ş" turns "s"
You can fix this by changing encoding from ANSI to Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16).

If you can enable Unicode for List control, or like you said invisible input box that supports Unicode, it would work.

Are you pressing a single key for "ğ", or is it a combination or sequence of keys?

It's a single key, it's available on Turkish keyboards

"Ğ" next to "P"

OK, I can reproduce it now. I will try some fix the next days...

Looks like I could fix it! :beer: A toughy, took several hours of cold-blooded pioneer work in undocumented wilderness. But, yeah, it seems to work!

Thank you admin, when you say "undocumented", are you talking about Windows' undocumented API?

Well, I exaggerated a bit. I'm using the ToUnicode function, and I couldn't find that many real world usage samples.

So, can you confirm that it works now?
