| Summary | 0000677: Better means of configuring handling of illegal characters in filenames | ||||
| Description | If the user tries to change a filename (mainpanel, properties panel, or auto-rename) to a filename that includes illegal characters, it's currently unclear what happens. MM should: 1) Allow the user to configure in the Options dialog a mapping between charaters and valid characters. This mapping should automatically determine the grouping of the invalid character (see: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4212 ) Possible implementation: Replace invalid characters with the following for filenames: X:Y, A:B, etc. Note: there must be a check that Y and B are valid. 2) If a file rename operation contains invalid characters that aren't specified for remapping, the following dialog should appear: The new filename contains illegal characters. This will be replaced by '_' or by whatever characters you specify in the Options dialog. Do you want to proceed? [Yes] [Yes to All] [No] [No to All] [Options] | ||||

This bug is a bit more complex - it would require to add an option sheet where user could configure there filename characters mapping (currently only editable in the ini file). Also some distinction would be necessary to figure out which mapping is necessary because of the filesystem and which is done only because the user wants so (e.g. to map some characters with accents 'รก'->'a'). |

Pushing to 'high'. |
