Can't TC handle non utf-8 chars before V4.53 (2001)?

[sertacthebassman]

Hello everyone,

I'm Sertac from Turkiye. Student of Geology Engineering. I'm one of the most new "fan" of TC. Today, i was casting an eye and i noticed that in the version history (Just reading for being interested in);

New in Version 4.53 (31.05.01):
- Display of UTF8 (special 1-6 byte Unicode format) in Lister


So, Can't TC handle non utf-8 chars before it? Copying, moveing, syncing folders and/or files before this update ?

It's just for being interested in as i said.

Hi sertacthebassman,
The text you quote is only about the Lister. The main program and its functions were modified to handle unicode much later, in TC 7.50.

01.12.08 Release Total Commander 7.50 Beta 1
[lots of changes]
17.08.07 Added: Start conversion of copy/move/delete functions to Unicode
14.08.07 Added: Start conversion of directory browsing functions to Unicode
10.08.07 Added: All time-related functions now use the NTFS time instead of the old FAT file system time -> also dates before 1980 supported
27.07.07 Added: Working on new Unicode controls (static, panel, combobox, tab header etc.)
