another useful feature?

Schweinepriester commented 9 years ago

yes but i think we dont need it, see allowed characters:

FS Allowed characters in filenames
NTFS In POSIX namespace, any UTF-16 code unit (case-sensitive) except U+0000 (NUL) and / (slash). In Win32 namespace, any UTF-16 code unit (case-insensitive) except U+0000 (NUL) / (slash) \ (backslash) : (colon) * (asterisk) ? (Question mark) " (quote) < (less than) > (greater than) and (pipe)
HFS Plus Unicode, any character, including NUL. OS APIs may limit some characters for legacy reasons

and because those characters are catched by http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/config.html?highlight=trailing#replace

i'd link to change 

replace:
    '^\.': _

to 

replace:
    '^\.':

though, to remove any trailing dots and not replace them by _

on the other hand, ascii paths would be probalby better searchable in the file managers

zabelhaft commented 9 years ago

i added the default values in the config.yaml

feel free to change the trailing dot behaviour

ascii: other pros/cons

Schweinepriester commented 9 years ago

done (damn, missed to mention the issue in the commit)

ascii:

i dont know, right now we even have cyrillic folder/file names...

since we usually use itunes (or other programs) which handle stuff like this (e.g. map e to é) i think we should have the most accurate folder/file structure possible... i guess?
