Bug Ctrl+B does not understand cyrillic names

Post by *slon »

I have a folder with subfolders. Some files in subfolders have cyrillic names. When i go directly to a subfolder, I can see file names. When I do Ctrl+B from a main folder, i see only names like this ??????.???
My panel font is set to cyrillic script, but it looks like Ctrl+B does not use it.
I'm using Windows 2000 English and don't even Russian font in Control Panel- Regional Settings (Company computer, all extras removed)

BTW - the same goes to multiple rename windows - no names, only ?????
I.e. I can see names, but when I highlite some and do Ctrl+M I no longer see names, only ????

Indeed Ctrl+B isn't currently supported with Unicode names. TC cannot work with Unicode folders at this time, because Win9x doesn't support them. I don't have the time and resources to develop two different versions (Unicode and ANSI version), so only basic Unicode features are available at this time.

This is cured by setting "Russian" in Regional Settings.

To whom it may concern - this could be in FAQ, I also was stuck in this situation some time ago.

2China Setting "Rusian" in Regional Settings can help if you have 2 languages only.
