Description ilbiffo 2014-02-13 12:23:47 UTC 
If  the file name contains a not ascii character (for instance italian è or spanish ñ) , easytag is unable to read and write tags.
Comment 1 David King 2014-02-13 12:32:16 UTC 
I do not think that anything has changed regarding filename handling in EasyTAG recently, and I seem able to use filenames (and directory names) with non-ASCII characters without problems, both for loading and saving tags. Are you using the latest version (2.1.9) and are you using a UTF-8 locale? You can check which locale EasyTAG is using by looking in the log. I have:

Currently using locale 'en_GB.utf8' (and eventually 'utf8')
Comment 2 ilbiffo 2014-02-13 14:56:58 UTC 
I check in the log of the GUI (or is there a log file?) and I see:
Setting locale :'(null)'
 
I'm using the latest 2.1.9 for windows with mp3 support (http://amigadave.com/temp/easytag-2.1.9-setup-full.exe)

I've tried to uninstall and install again choosing english language (instead od italian) but nothing change.  I'm going to try the linux version to see if it works fine.
Comment 3 ilbiffo 2014-02-13 15:06:37 UTC 
I have tried the 2.1.7 portable and it works fine.
Comment 4 David King 2014-02-13 15:24:34 UTC 
Ah, OK. In that case, there is already a bug about incorrect (or rather inconsistent) filename handling under Windows: bug 689450. Switching to GFile would help a lot, and that is 700050. I only started creating Windows binaries when I started maintaining EasyTAG after 2.1.7 was released, so I do not know why 2.1.7 would act differently.

"Switching to GFile would help a lot, and that is 700050"  
?????
I don't understand ! Is something that I have to do?
Comment 6 David King 2014-02-13 15:39:40 UTC 
No, that is just a reference to bug 700050. There is nothing that you have to do, the references are just a reminder to myself, and anyone else who encounters the same problem.
