English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Bug: Filenames containing national characters in Windows Directories

Actually there are no problems. I think I confused this was another similar problem..

ń in espańol does not appear to be legal character in AmigaDOS (WB locale disk has only español)

<1.6.0 does not show it because ń does not exists in iso-8859-1 and WinUAE can't access it.

>=1.6.0 shows it because of unicode support but conversion to AmigaDOS path creates different name (ń becomes n because ń does not exist in Amiga charset)

Perhaps >=1.6.0 should also hide files if they contain illegal characters..
