Grip writes filenames with wrong charset

bruno buys · 12-19-2004, 03:48 PM

when I load a cd into grip, it displays the music names and titles with the correct charset, so that I can see brazilian special symbols correctly (ã, â, ê, ç...). But when I open this dir into konqueror, the symbols are all messed up. If I rename the files in konqueror, they are ok, but I don't want to rename every time, just want grip to write the names ok. Which program is to be blamed on this? How can I fix it?
thanks!

Using debian sarge and xfce. Setting Konqueror to either iso8859-1 or utf-8, doesn't make any diff.

Are the filenames displayed properly in another file browser, like nautilus? If not, suggest you file a bug on grip.

Dunno if this is is any way related, but when I browse my windows folders with non-english names, using é or á with nautilus or XMMS thse characters turn up like ?. Any way to change/avoid this (other than not using these characters in file names))?

Have you tried to set these programs to other charsets to see if it makes any difference?

No... I'll find out where, but which one should I choose?

Well, I tried to play with both iso8859-1 and utf-8. But in this particular case, it doesn't seem to work.

havent' been able to figure out where to do this after all (using gnome on FC3), but have noticed that program names under the start button are displayed correctly with accents, so it can't be the system's character set.
