Hi,

I am fully aware of the problem, but there is nothing I can do about it,
since Microsoft has decided to stop devloping Visual Basic 6, which is the
devlopment platform I am using. Neither will they release the source code as
open source so that it can be developed by the large community still using
VB6. The only way to solve it would be to completely rewrite the program in
another language, and I don't really fell like that right now...

Subject: Flash Renamer versus the Evil Characters

Flash Renamer 5.5 can't cope with a filename like 'Goshûshô-sama Ninomiya-kun - 1.rmvb'.

In Gosh(1)sh(2)-sama (1) is unicodecharacter U+016B and (2) is U+014D.

So basically it looks like FR can't handle unicode.



If you try to access a folder with such a file FR gives a messagebox:



"An error occured when reading the directory structure! (Path too long?)

Goshusho-sama Ninomiya-kun - 1.rmvb

Do you want to try to continue?"



Obviously it does read the filename while changing the problematic characters for the messagebox. Of course it had nothing to do with the pathlength.

(Btw it spells "occurred".)





Vriendelijke groeten,
Manfred
