Summary0001491: UTF-8 filenames become weird characters both in the 'transfers' view and on the disk.
DescriptionBoth 'amule' and 'amuled' (2.2.2 using wxGTK2 v2.8.8) shipped with Ubuntu 8.10 have the same problem that Chinese filenames (encoded in UTF-8) embeded in ed2k links become weird characters both in the 'transfers' view and on the disk.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI ran a simple test and found: only when a link is clicked locally (so added to the local 'amule' or 'amuled' via 'ed2k') the Chinese filenames is correct. If I copy the link location and add it manually to the local 'amule', the Chinese filename is incorrect. If a link is clicked remotely (so added to the remote 'amule' or 'amuled' via 'amulecmd') the Chinese name is incorrect.

So, it seems that only 'ed2k' handles UTF-8 filesnames (the ones embeded in the ed2k links) correctly, while 'amulecmd' and 'amule' fail to handle UTF-8.

Works for me (on Windows).
Does copy/paste of Chinese characters work at all on your computer?
Wuischke, could you reproduce it?

Stu: Yes, I could. I take it you are an Opera user like I am? ;-)

On Linux, this problem is related to Firefox. When copying a link, chinese (i.e. extended unicode) characters will be turned into a %-sequence.

[生死朗读] gets converted to %5B%E7%94%9F%E6%AD%BB%E6%9C%97%E8%AF%BB%5D which aMule displays as [\u00e7\u0094\u009f\u00e6\u00ad\u00bb\u00e6\u009c\u0097\u00e8\u00af\u00bb] (These are not the characters, but the unicode codes.)

aMule's %-sequence conversion assigns every %-sequence an unicode-character, but it should convert multiple codes according to unicode-rules.

When using the ed2k-utility "raw" unicode-values are used and everything works as expected.

Interim solution: Use Opera or ed2k. I can't promise a real solution anytime soon, however.

Edit: Bug reporting software stupid. Not displaying chinese characters correctly. Anyway, I hope you get the point nonetheless.

Edit2: User stupid, too. Can't distinguish "forum" and "bug reporting".

I tried to use Opera with ed2k on Linux.
1) goto http://www.verycd.com/topics/2733151/ [^]
2) click any of the ed2k link, and in my xterm (where I run "opera &" ), I got this error:

Link successfully queued.
Failed to open ED2KLinks file.
