Accented characters in Filename are not read by Scanner
Last modified: 2007-09-04 12:19:19 UTC
(ref# 070529-002143 ) Customer added some files to his library but hte scanner did not read them. Tried getting the file here but the filename would not arrive correctly. (was using a file up/download service.) What I received was this filename: Juanjo%20Dom%ED%AE%A7uez%20-%20Julio%20Oscar%20Pane%20-%20Milonga%20Sentimental.mp3 When I looked on Yousendit's page the filename was incomplete and showed a question mark: Juanjo Dom�uez - Julio Oscar Pane - Milo... I tried viewing that character in a number of applications but could not see it properly. But I was able to parse the special codes inserted by the URL syntax. There are actually 3 special characters in the filename ... ... after "Juanjo Dom _ _ _ uez..." 1. latin small letter i with acute (hex ED) 2. registered trade mark sign (hex AE) 3. section sign (hex A7) The funny thing is even a site like eMusic.com is unable to display the character: http://www.emusic.com/artist/Juanjo-Dom-nguez-MP3-Download/11569276.html I'll attach the file itself, but it may boil down to finding a way to insert accented characters into a filename.
Created attachment 2125 [details] File with munged filename. This filename is NOT the filename the user has on his system. It is the result of sending the file to me.
Daniel, you may want to have the user RAR the MP3 file first and try again. I have found in the past that this will preserve the file name. I also just noticed that version 6.5.3 is selected. Version 6.5.4 has the fix for Bug 2475 that this sounds similar to.
