Re: Accented chars in filenames issue

I am experiencing serious problems with my external HD, I can't create/write
filenames containing accented chars, especially when copying music from my
amarok collection (as you can guess a lor of brazilian, french and
italian music has plenty of accented chars in filenames).

It's a very bad idea to use special characters (or spaces) in file
names. You can get it to work, and it may cause trouble when your locale
settings change or when you try to use the files on other
computers. You're already experiencing such trouble, so why make it
difficult?
