Well, first, I would like to officially agree that people speaking in language with diacritics are people :)
I'm not 100% sure of your exact proposal, but I think you are suggesting that: a) "cordova create Foo" should create a project in directory Foo with name "Foo", and not name "Hello World" and b) Support for unicode for Name? Regarding (a), I'm a bit torn. It seems like a good change in isolation, but personally I think we should just get rid of all parameters except Path. Specifically, you have to edit your config.xml to change a bunch more than just packageId and Name, so why are those special? Also, "cordova create Foo" will still create the Hello World application, which should specify its default name/packageId in its config.xml, why override those at create time? Regarding (b), I just changed my config.xml to: <name>/daɪ.əˈkrɪtɨk/</name> or <name>διακριτικός</name> or <name>ąćęłńóśźż</name>.. and it always worked exactly as expected. Not sure what else we require? On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 4:44 PM, Jan Velecký <vve...@seznam.cz> wrote: > Hello, > probably many of you developers are english speaking.
