Localized characters in filenames or in descriptions are not imported correctly. Can you make WhereIsIt support my local language and characters?
WhereIsIt already supports all language variations and local characters. If file or folder names are missing localized characters, which appear to be replaced with similar ANSI characters (like missing diacritics), very likely you don’t have your Windows setup properly for the language you are using. Make sure everything is set correctly in Control Panel / Regional Settings, especially language and region related settings. If the problem is with descriptions having their localized characters replaced with characters like ‘+’, ‘-‘ and similar, you are using the “DOS Graphics Characters Filter” formatting plugin. Don’t use this plugin with text that is not in pure ANSI code, many languages use their own localized characters in places where graphics characters are supposed to be, and they get converted as well. A similar problem is needlessly using the “OEM-to-ANSI charset converter” plugin, which can also result in incorrect local characters if used on text already in the correct code pa
