$ touch »´ÁÉǑÄ« $ convmv * wrong/unknown "from" encoding! $ convmv -f utf8 -t latin1 * Starting a dry run without changes... iso-8859-1 doesn't cover all needed characters for: "./»´ÁÉǑÄ«" To prevent damage to your files, we won't continue. First fix this or correct options! convmv is a precision tool. it needs to know the source and target encoding, and is very careful. in contrast my tool is much more blunt, because i dont care about an exact 1:1 mapping as on my disks punctuation and diacritics are not welcome. -f -- life is like... an analogy.
