Hi, I'm using amarok 2.1-svn
And i found that it doesn't index files with special character in their path, that is, it doesn't add them to the collection. I've tested this in files in my NTFS (with the correct locale, as well as the wrong one) and with files in my ext4 partition. Neither are ever inexed if they have a special char in their path. as soon as i remove the special char, amarok indexes the file. I also tried using convmv to make the filename utf8 and it didn't work either. |

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ... |

I think the issue may not really be an amarok bug. As I solved the issue by setting the locale to iso8859-1 which is the same locale I mount my ntfs HDs in (the ones with the music).
If I set the locale to, say utf-8, then the console(shell) won't display the characters correctly, which is probably the why the scanner fails to index them. |
