iLiad A filename encoding problem.

[ericshliao]

Although contentlister accepts Unicode filename and path (so we can use CJK glyphs in contentlister), Mobipocket format file must be named in ascii character. If not ascii named, the mobi file can not be opened from contentlister.
I think the problem lies in the shell script file "/home/intent/runmobi.sh". The script tries to transfer filename to JVM (Mobi-reader runs on JVM). It's either the script give wrong filename, or JVM wrongly receive the filename string.
I want to use iconv to translate filename string in the shell script, but iLiad busybox doesn't seem to have it. Does anybody have some suggestion for this problem?

I found the solution. The problem can be solved by setting proper encoding parameter in the shell script that calls JVM to execute.
Take Mobipocket reader for example. In "/home/intent/runmobi.sh", there is a line:

OPTIONS="-capp/stdio/jcode ${LANGUAGE}${JVMARGS}"

Replace it with:

OPTIONS="-capp/stdio/jcode -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ${LANGUAGE}${JVMARGS}"

You can use CJK characters in your filename now.

Since iLiad use UTF-8 as its internal encoding scheme. iRex should make this fix in her next software release.
