Removing character accents/sanitizing folder and file names

[CatfoodCZ]

Hi,

it would be great if you managed to implement an optional functionality to remove accents of character from file and folder names when uploading/creating and renaming them.

Most likely is is not an issues in the English, but for example in the Czech language where we use characters like ěščřžýáíéúůňťďĚŠČŘŽÝÁÍÉÚŮŇŤĎ there are problems with file/folder names.

Unfortunately iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', ...) does not work properly in every case.

Here are links of some code examples that do handle accents:

Hi, you can scrap this issue.

I found out that the problem with accents has roots in the Windows. On the test and live servers it works fine so far.
