Re: Weird problems with Charset of Files



Sciss,

Yes, the normalizer will work on any platform. But be aware of platform differences:

- Mac OS X always decomposes a file name to Unicode Normalization Form D regardless which normalization form the file name originally had

- Windows uses the composed form, but does not do automatic normalization, i.e. a file named ä.txt in its decomposed form will be treated as a different file name than ä.txt in its composed form.

- Linux flavors use the composed form. Unfortunately, I haven't got a Linux box at hand, so I can't tell you how it treats file names in different normalization form.

You are welcome, :)
Werner

so i assume that the normalizer will work also on windows and linux or filesystems other than HFS+, so i really needn't do more?
