Unicode characters in filenames in listfile.

Post by *Meelkor »

Hello, I am making custom button for my application and using the /L parameter. But generated temporary file with paths of selected files contains only ascii characters and special characters get converted to ?. So my application can't access the files... Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any way to get unicode chars working in the temporary file?

Thank you for the reply :>

While in button configuration dialog, press F1 and read:

Code: Select all

%UL, %UF     like %L and %F, but with a UTF-8 Unicode list file (with byte order marker)
%WL, %WF     like %L and %F, but with a UTF-16 Unicode list file (with byte order marker)
...and many more.

Owow, thank you very much. Somehow instead of checking help I went right to the wiki, where those aren't mentioned. This really solves everything. Thank you once again.
