[Might be a TC (seems any version) bug - Multi-rename tool ] Loading long unicode names from UTF16-LE truncates the name

[ghisler(Author)]

I can confirm the problem. I was using a 259 character buffer for the UTF-8 representation of the loaded strings.

[Dalai]

But the names are truncated long before the limit of 259 is reached. It doesn't match if I consider 2 or 4 bytes per character. What am I missing?

The string length was chosen for ANSI names, because a name in a directory can't be longer than 255 characters. However, Unicode (UTF-16) names on NTFS can also be 255 characters long - and converted to UTF-8, it can be much longer than 255 characters.

For example, the Japanese file name from this bug report would take 364 characters when saved as UTF-8.

This should be fixed in beta 9, please try it!

Works fine now, much appreciated! (I also tried with the "original" utf16-LE as well as utf-8 and both work fine, so the utf8 behavior is unchanged and utf16-LE is fixed).

Can confirm it's fixed.
