The situation starts to be clarified a little bit.
First, if *ağaç.txt* opens in Linux as Martin stated but not in OS X and iOS,
then the underlying OS has a big role.
It seems that in OS X and iOS, Livecode accepts only those chars with a
unicode hex point up to U+00FF;
That’s why *épøtç†.png* worked for John.
Which, btw, I also tried and saw that works.
But, like I said, I can’t control the editors’ input.
I’ve already told them strictly not to use anything except Ascii-128.
Still they enter filenames like *sophora-japonica-âpendulaâ.jpeg*
At first look, it seems that it’ll work because that *a with breve* has a
lesser code point than FF;
but it’s a messed up name.
Try to copy that char, you won’t be able to.
There are two more invisible chars after *â*.
I wonder how they {editor guys} managed to achieve this :))
Nevertheless, they blame me and my app;
because it works on their desktop and on the website;
but not on the iOS app :/
How can we make it work even with chars greater than U+00FF?
Isn’t there any Japanese or Chinese or Russian Livecoders?
I wonder what they do about these kinda issues…
So, I’m still open to additional ideas :)
Best,

Ender,
Did you try using the answer file command to get the filepath and open
the image directly from that by script?
What happened?

multiple child nodes in xml

Re: [ANN] lcStackbrowser V2 Released
Hi Peter, Right now, all my products for which I charge a fee have their scripts password protected so will not function in the Community version. I have to admit that I have not so far been able to come up with a way to make them available in an open source form that I'm comfortable with. On the Linux issue, I do not have access to a Linux box so have not been able to test but I believe my plugins should work under Linux as I have tried to deal with the obvious things like where the standard home directories are for each platform. The one standalone I have, SQLiteAdmin, is not currently available for Linux but I'd be happy to build a Linux version if anyone is interested.

Re: Non-Ascii Chars in Filenames
Martin, I’ve tried it, for test purposes of course because it’s no use in iOS; though still no luck. _answer file “select file…” _put it into tFilename _set the filename of image 1 to tFilename _put tFilename cr the filename of image 1 into field 1 Results are same, Ascii-255 works fine that is up to U+00FF; beyond that it’s pure unicode - no ascii support. The image looks empty in Livecode and the unicode chars of the filename appears as ?. /Users/endernafi/Desktop/sophorica-japon?c??.png There isn’t any workaround, I guess :/ so, we’ll wait Livecode 7 and in the meantime find a way to dodge customers’ complaints :) Best, ~ Ender Nafi ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Non-Ascii Chars in Filenames
Hello Jacque,
Thanks for your effort.
I suggested it to my customer, they didn’t accept it.
They are a bit *dummkopf*, sorry for that but they’re what they are :)
Though, I have a dedicated folder for the mobile app in the ftp server.
Now, a colleague of mine {web guy} is trying to create a php script to put
there.
I’ll pull the filenames through that php script which will convert the
filenames to ascii.
It’s hard though, as he stated, because the database is too big and he’s afraid
of muddling it up :)
This seems the only way, right?

Am I missing something (numberFormat again)
Is there some way to change the default numberFormat? It consumed about
half my day today. I need precision for what I'm doing, and the six decimal
place default won't cut it. I was working on JSON import/export, and the
fact that the debugger also defaults to six decimal places makes it really
tedious to figure out where exactly you're losing precision. In the end, a
fit of frustration led to me putting
set the numberFormat to 0.##
at the start of about twenty handlers. Some combination of that fixed the
problem -- I still don't know where it was exactly. In any case I'm now
happily importing and exporting, on to rendering:
