Renaming files for compatibility with the Switch filesystem #20

Closed pixeltester closed 4 years ago

pixeltester commented 4 years ago

As part of the renaming process would it be possible to add support for renaming folders and files to be compatible with the Switch filesystem? It seems that it can't deal with unicode and Japanese characters and so on that are in many title names, if they are used locally on the Switch, on the SD card for example, then homebrew cannot deal with or see them. There are other storage methods that have issues with these characters too. Maybe a filter to change to characters and perhaps convert Japanese to Romaji.

Here is something of an explanation of the issue: https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx/issues/90#issuecomment-390697783

Makes sense, will include this in the next update

if it makes it easier, nsc_builder can translate between original and romanji, might look at that for help if needed

should be fixed in 1.1.6

Great, will report if any issues after testing. However I don't see a mention of unicode character handling which is half of the issue.
