I store file names internally in Korean in a text file. I also store the textfile with a Korean name.
If I save within the file a name written in Korean with an extension such as .jpg and transfer it from Mac to Windows, then Windows (not XOJO) doesn’t do its usual transformations.
For instance, this of causes ??.jpg to become ???.jpg
This is especially annoying since it generates nilobjects.
Any suggestions on prevention (besides compression)?
I had been blaming XOJO for years for these nilbojects. I decided to look at a file in NotePad after making sure I had the correct name on my Mac. The files are duplicates so names are identical. Windows hadn’t transformed the characters for anything that could be a file (jpg, mp3, etc).
I also had a similar problem when I restored a file backup, but that was a file name and not just inside of text.
Not sure how to explain it any more clearly.
If you inserted the file name on Windows its quite possibly in UTF16 encoding for that filename
And when you pull that out on the Mac if you do not define the encoding on the Mac then you are bound to get bizarre results
Exactly like this
Sorry for bringing this back up but I’m wondering if this could be a solution?
When I did a search on Windows 10 settings for encoding or utf, nothing showed.
