FreeCommander Forum

I am a Chinese user. I love freecommander.

I think unicode support is already done in this 2010 prealpha version. Is there any users from China or some other countries need unicode support?

Let us have a discussion.

1. When I type, delete, insert some Chinese characters or move the cursor in the rename dialog, is works perfect. No more errors like before.
2. Multi file rename is still unavailable. I think Marek has rewrite this whole software! It is the best time to add unicode support.
3. One discussion before: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=307&start=15

I have some mp3 files that have russian tags and they are displayed in Canola correctly, but in my case Canola does not play and files with russian file names of tags. Cnaola 1 plyaed them well.

Is it possible to test out the pre-alpha version, or join the beta program to
get the Unicode version?

Actually, non-Unicode FreeCommander (2009.02a) can already support
"local code-page Chinese characters", e.g. when running under Chinese (trad.-character)
Windows. But running under Chinese (trad.-character) windows, it
cannot manipulate files with Chinese (simp.-character) filenames.

It cannot run under Microsoft AppLocale's fake Chinese (simpl.-character) environment.
So, I guess it cannot manipulate Chinese characters (trad. or simp.) in Latin-based Windows.

Thanks.
