Encoding problem

Post by Jos »

Hello!

This is the best program i've ever used. It's fast and functional and it doesn't crash my system every 15 minutes, like explorer.exe!

Now to my problem:
I'm from Sweden and we use a different charset/encoding. This is a problem in the Find Files section. Would it be possible to put at setting for the encoding in the ini-file? I think ISO8859-1 is the one we use...

Another wish is a more powerful filerenamer. The one in WindowsCommander is verygood, but the rest of the system makes it a bit hard to use.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you! But, if Explorer crashes your system every 15 minutes you must have an interesting system... :wink:

What exactly is the problem? Is it that you cannot enter certain Swedish characters into the "Named" field?

Well, powerful file renaming is a large field. There are a lot of tools around just to do this job. If you miss a specific rename trick very much please open a new topic for it and let's see if you find supporters for your wish (or if i like it, that's always enough :wink: ).

The problem was, as you said, that I couldn't enter swedish chars into the Named field. However, the problem is now mysteriously gone.
About the filerenaming, i was thinking about regular expressions (pattern matching). I have not done this in c++, but there must be some opensource code out there.

Yes, there's a lot of code out there but i won't open that box for now. I admit that renaming is not the first reason to use TrackerV3. I keep on working on the better reasons...

Thanks anyway,
Donald
