Everything 1.5 introduced what it called De-composition searching
https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewto ... ics#decomp
De-composition searching
Searching will match de-composited Unicode characters, for example:
ẞ is the same as ss
æ is the same as ae
Everything will now also ignore Unicode combining characters, for example:
A + ◌̀ is the same as A
Is this a thing can be applicable to XYplorer

I could do that, but not with priority.
But see also

The big benefit of this will be for non-Latin scripts
Thank you for replying

By the way, do you know of a simple (non-contextual) conversion table between Arabic script and Latin script?

you mean writing Arabic in English letters?
Sorry if I don't quite understand what you mean
Code: Select all
ع=aa
غ=gh
ش=sh
خ=kh
ث=th
ي=e
و=w
ه=h
ن=n
م=m
ل=l
ك=k
ق=k
ف=f
ظ=z
ط=t
ض=d
ص=s
س=s
ز=z
ر=r
ذ=z
د=d
ح=h
ج=g
ت=t
ب=b
ا=a
أ=a
ء=a
ة=t
This table is taken from renamer-7.4 and does not seem to convert the words correctly.
Another table at the bottom of the page

Thanks. I'm aware that it can only be a very rough transcription. When I find the time I will try to add it to File | Rename Special | Convert to ASCII.

For Arabic, what matters is the file search with ignoring accent marks. I don't think anyone would need to use rename option.
