unable to process folder with spanish chars

jomaweb · 02-01-2010, 02:17 PM

hi

i've updated to latest version 0.6.37 and now, when tried to add a folder I get error in some foldernames (I think accented words or spanish letters like ñ:

ERROR: Path error: The specified directory could not be processed.

('utf8', 'J:\\books\\LRF\\A\\Carlos Argui\xf1ano', 28, 32, 'invalid data')
what stands for Carlos Arguiñano

('utf8', 'J:\\books\\LRF\\A\\Azor\xedn', 13, 15, 'unexpected end of data')
what stands for Azorín

any solution to this issue?

These bytes \xf1 and \xed are not utf-8. They are iso-8859-1 codes. So it probably is one of these encoding confusions.

I'll add a workaround in the next release. Try it and let me know.

Actually here's a build with the fix:
