Description

Files with non-ascii filenames are not loading for me right now on neither Mac or FreeBSD.

Locale settings are the same on both machines and are:

kaniini@Circe % locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Possible cause is f27227bf2462fb14dd4c7b577305728021e4ded8, will bisect later today.

Although, there should not have been a problem if the system locale is really UTF-8 and the filesystem is also UTF-8 (or correctly mounted so that the OS will convert from UTF-8 to the filesystem's native encoding). In that case Audacious does no character set conversions at all, so there is not really any way to mess things up.

Now adding directories is broken...

However, UTF-8 is working correct now.

I wonder if the locale is different when launched as an app bundle on Mac. FreeBSD seems to have funky locale handling which appears to be orthogonal.

For the record, as discussed on IRC, this was caused only by audacious-plugins needing to be recompiled.
