i am on windows 11, and it supports japanese characters in the file name. yes, i see the orignal IN calibre, but that doesn't really help when the output after converting is in romaji. i don't use calibre for media organization, only format conversion. i have no interest in using it as a library tool, so i'm not worried about corruption at all.
it's difficult and chaotic to locate anything with file names and paths suddenly in romaji. and extremely tedious having to individually rename all the files back to japanese.
is there really no option to consistently use unicode/the original characters for the output file? i mean i get that not all os's support it, but are there no options for those that do?
