Hello all, new Haiku user here. I was recently trying to transfer some music files, but were unable to do so for some of the songs with fullwidth characters and/or Japanese text. Is there a workaround for this, or is it a limitation of the filesystem?
Hello @s0m3-d0g
Haiku supports Japanese text throughout the system, including the file system, so you should be able to use Japanese filenames (I do it all the time).
I suspect this may be an encoding “mojibake” problem.
Are you moving the files from another OS/file system? If yes, what OS/file system is it? That may help narrow down the cause.

Howdy,
This may be related.
And it looks like a fix is being worked on here:

Ah, I missed that article. As far as I can tell it’s the same issue as what I’m having. Our drive is formatted in FAT.
Is there a format for the drive that we can use that doesnt have this problem? I’m trying to transfer files from linux (ubuntu).
