after lot of reading, I think I become to understand what you want in summary, you want to copy strange named files from linux file system to fat (probably fat32). But you want a GUI... This may be a more difficult problem than what you think, for various reasons I have similar problem and solutions described here: http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Photo.NormaliserPourPiwigo (sorry, in french but should be understandable) but problems are as follow: * there are forgiven characters in any Windows file system (including NTFS, like \ backslash), * even in Linux there are problem, when utf8 characters are read as 8 bits ones, because some begin with zero, the only one Linux don't want. You then get a black lozenge, and only CLI with jokers can get rid of them. * trying to replace offending chars by - or _ may lead to duplicates * FAT don't makes any case difference I probably forget many. so why I don't see any GUI able to manage this cleanly detox is what I know to do the best job, it's CLI, so probaly possible to pipe it jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
