Cannot sync multilanguage files

12-04-2007

I have 2 computers with chinese windows vista installed and another 1 with
english windows xp, foldershare syncs all the english named files correctly
but as for the chinese named files, if the file [chinese] was on the chinese
vista, the english xp receives the file as a jumble of jargon, but if the
file [chinese] was on the english xp, the chinese vista doesn't receive it at
all, not even the *.p2p file.

this has always been a limitation of foldershare.
filename in unicode are ignored by the client.
I have the same problem as I have tone of chinese filenames.

one ugly solution is to re-encode the filenames in say GB or BIG5
so instead of having a filename of ä¸*æ–‡(unicode) you'll have Ã–ÃÃŽÃ„(GB)

downside is that now you'll need additional programs (I use NJSTAR) to read
your chinese filenames otherwise they apeare as jiberish.

if Any foldershare team members are reading this. Any chance we'll get
unicode support in the future?
