in summary, you want to copy strange named files from linux file system to fat (probably fat32). But you want a GUI...
Exactly :-) Nautilus (aka files) does that. But has excessive zeal and replaces "ñ" with "_". And David Haller just posted a wonderful idea using 'mc' custom menus. Maybe Krusader can be customized that way, I don't know. But I like 'mc' a lot.
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),
But I know these do not happen in my files. Only ":" is a problem, I think, I use it often.
* 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
detox? No package. :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
