[Bug 327500] [NEW] UTF-8 filenames become weird characters both in the 'transfers' view and on the disk.

[Tian]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amule

Both 'amule' and 'amuled' (2.2.2 using wxGTK2 v2.8.8) shipped with
Ubuntu 8.10 have the same problem that Chinese filenames (encoded in
UTF-8) embeded in ed2k links become weird characters both in the
'transfers' view and on the disk.

I ran a simple test and found: only when a link is clicked locally (so
added to the local 'amule' or 'amuled' via 'ed2k') the Chinese filenames
is correct. If I copy the link location and add it manually to the local
'amule', the Chinese filename is incorrect. If a link is clicked
remotely (so added to the remote 'amule' or 'amuled' via 'amulecmd') the
Chinese name is incorrect.

So, it seems that only 'ed2k' handles UTF-8 filesnames (the ones embeded
in the ed2k links) correctly, while 'amulecmd' and 'amule' fail to
handle UTF-8.
