Accents

[Lenry]

Hi!

I am Hungarian, and we use letters like é á ű ú ő ó ü ö.
If one of these are in any file or folder's name, OSX can't do anything with it. I can't open, edit, remove or anything.

How can I set up OSX's character encoding?
Or what can be the solution for this?
(no, I won't rename all of my files)

I got no troubles with names with tildes, Spanish.
Are you talking about an HFS partition or some other format?
Does it happen in Terminal too or only in Finder?
I suppose you configured the International options for your country in System Preferences...
Maybe the OS X distro you have installed is missing some component for international support?

no, they're on NTFS partitions (macfuse and ntfs-3g installed, could it be something with these? some mount option or like that)
this happens only in Finder, with terminal I can easily copy a file with accents in it's name
it have to be something with he system, because for e.g. I copied my Thunderbird profile folder from Windows, and everything worked in it except for one folder, which has accents in it's name disappeared, and also the filters in connection with it have been disabled.

What can I reconfigure in the international?
I set everything to hungarian, and I even install a hungarian language pack on Leo, but that doesn't helped either.

I found something strange: if I rename a problematic file, to something else, then rename again to it's original, accentuated name, Leo can handle it!
Of course, it' not the best solution, cause I can't rename thousands of files


(hmmm... my english is terrible. sorry for that)

I dont know if its a problem with NTFS-3G or Finder, if you can see the filenames right in Terminal but not in Finder, it looks like the mount options are right, could it be you are using a custom font (that doesnt support Unicode or the same character set) in Finder or something similar?
I have no troubles with tildes on NTFS partitions but I'm using Paragon instead of NTFS-3G...

[Lenry]

I can see the name right, just Finder doesn't handle these files correctly. Only if I rename them. I don't use any custom font, or anything, everything is on default settings.

I try this Paragon

with Paragon, it works great!
I owe you one
thanks
