Extra list option when zipping Unicode files

Post by *jphendriks »

When I create a zip file TC sometimes "complains" that there are files with Unicode characters or special characters about to be packed. TC offers a variety of options but I would like an option "Show which files we are talking about". I prefer to abort, rename the few files concerned to US_ASCII names (in the source location) and then pack again, but finding the files is often cumbersome.
E.g: a file named München.jpg I would rather rename to Muenchen.jpg or Munchen.jpg in the first place. And Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek names I would Romanize.
Elsewhere there is an option like "feed to listbox". Allowing the same in this case would just be perfect.

Perhaps a search like this is helpful:

Search for:

Code: Select all

[^\w\s`~!@#$%^&()\-=+[{\]};',.]
RegEx Checked

You could put ">" in the Search in field and save the search with name "non-ascii".
Then you could put one of these commands under a button:

Code: Select all

LOADSEARCH==non-ascii
LOADSEARCH=non-ascii
LOADSEARCH non-ascii
cd >non-ascii
SELECTFILES >non-ascii
