If your needs are so small they're served adequately by restricting filenames to not even the set of basic ASCII, that's you. As for me, I prefer media files to have Unicode, spaces and apostrophes in their names, and if it breaks a tool, it's a bug in the tool. And regressing such a basic tool as "ls" is not acceptable. > When the dust finally settles, if necessary one of us can write a ls > substitute that does the right thing, whatever that turns out to be. I don't accept init getting broken, neither do I accept that with ls. -- An imaginary friend squared is a real enemy. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
