Description José JORGE 2005-10-22 23:51:01 UTC
Version:           1.12 (using KDE 3.4.2, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-12mdk

Like GRIP does, it would be nice to have a checkbox allowing to force the file and directory names no to have spaces or 7bit ascii when generated : it removes lots of problems using the generated files and directories.

The regexp string doesn't allow for that.

Just wondering: How does Japanese kanji get converted to 7bit ascii, for example?
Comment 2 José JORGE 2006-09-21 20:16:58 UTC
That's why it should be an option : if it is usefull for someone, he can activate it.

I encode portuguese music, and prefer not having those accentuated caracters, because they just get on the way when I'm transfering files from one machine to another.

Grip just removes the non ascii char, no conversion is done. As far as I know, japanese people don't store files in kanji ...

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kaudiocreator

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
