Wallness> ===8<==============Original message text=============== Wallness> ... Wallness> The Chinese bug you mentioned has been there for a long Wallness> time. Occasionally it works, but most of the time it Wallness> doesn't. BTW, I'm still using v4. The buggy search in Wallness> Chinese is the reason why I ended up buying Archvarius 3000. Unfortunately, as it occurred it's not only for Chinese/Japanese/Thai language. It happens for any language that is not English and has it's own national characters (Polish on Chinese OS ; CHN, JP, Rus on English or Polish OS ; any other combination you can think of). FOLDERS Additionally I have found today that creating folders with a name in any non-native char sets (ex: Chinese) is not possible - changing to ????? - added note to Bug report. Wallness> It can read and archive many file formats, including thebat. Wallness> It's a life-saver when it comes to search for info in my Wallness> thebat email bases. :) I can not see the point in using The Bat if it's not possible to make folders names in other that English or OS native languages. The main features (Filtering System and Folders) - the reason why The Bat is superior to Thunderbird are worth nothing if you can't use. And if you can't use features there is no point on spending money but it's better to stick to solutions like Thunderbird (not so powerful but working thou). Wallness> Also, FWIW, I believe there are other bugs in thebat's Wallness> search function. I'm pretty sure even when searching in Wallness> English, thebat often fails to find the words. It's a Wallness> horrible bug. We should help here programmers and provide them with more feedback I guess :) Wallness> Anyway, FYI. I doubt Ritlabs can do much about it. They have Wallness> a Chinese distributor in Mainland China. If the distributor Wallness> cannot get Ritlabs to fix it, it's hard to be optimistic. They should care ; word of mouth is what could help them with sales :) Satisfied customers = good publicity :) > -- > Best regards, > Anthony Chou > ===8<===========End of original message text=========== -- Best regards, RS The Bat! 5.0.8 Windows7 Professional (x64) Polish (SP1) OTFE Enabled ; so far only 3 POP3 accounts The Bat! 5.0.10 Windows7 Ultimate (x64) English (SP1) OTFE Enabled ; so far only 3 POP3 accounts ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.10.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
