Hey! I found an easy workaround to the problem of diacriticals in folder names. I got the list of paths by recursively getting all of the folders, including the diacritical ones I had trouble with. The folders function lists these folders, but "there is a folder" reported that diacritical ones did not exist. In LiveCode 6.6.2 [script editor], LC reports that there is no such folder when the path contains diacritical(s). But when I store the paths into a file, encoded as UTF8, then read the file, ALL of the folders with diacriticals EXIST!Thank you, Mark, for pointing out that it is a unicode issue. Then I got lucky as I persevered. How gratifying! :-))

Thanks for confirming that, Mark. One more down. Now I can focus on figuring out why font sizes seem inappropriately large on Linux for layouts that look pretty consistent on Mac and Win (are you seeing that?).... -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
