Categories folders and special characters in path?

Post by Christolito »

Hi,
how do i get sabnzbd to put files from a certain category to a folder with swedish character åäö? I creates a new folder with this character instead: %E4. (Its a folder that iTunes watch, and add files) And the swedish version of iTunes uses an "ä" in that folder name.

SOLVED: changed the path in sabnzbd.ini (/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/) and also changed the text encoding of the file to UTF-8.

Interesting. I hope this doesn't lead to new problems.
The program expects the INI file to be in Latin-1 format.

I'll check this further.

I haven't seen any new issues yet. Figured out how to input åäö in Latin-1 and get the paths right?

No, leave it as it is. Don't fix it if it's not broken.

It's a lead for us to follow.
