Garbled filenames #35

Closed gyratory closed 7 years ago

gyratory commented 7 years ago

Firefox Version: Nightly
Distro: Ubuntu 17.10
uGet settings: quiet mode enabled for command line, using aria2 as the plugin

Hi, thank you for the work on integrating uGet with Firefox! This is a pretty good replacement for DownThemAll.

The problem I'm encountering with the Firefox extension has two elements:

  1. Non-ASCII or any non-latin character filename becomes garbled, for example ♥♥♥ turns into ♥♥♥ or それ turns into それ
  2. Files with special characters (bangs, brackets, etc) in the name are downloaded as encoded URLs. e.g. Cute! [cats].jpg turns into Cute%21 %28cats%29.jpg

The first case (mojibake/tofu) is not replicated in Vivaldi but the second case with encoded URLs is. I haven't tried any of the other supported browsers.
Also, using the --content-disposition-default-utf8=true flag in the aria2 plugin settings doesn't seem to affect the downloads passed by Firefox at all.

The filename passed by the extension has nothing to do with the aria2 or uGet level settings. I will fix this soon.

Hi, Could you please check the new extension (2.1.0) and uget-chrome-wrapper (2.0.6) and see whether this problem persists? If it is still there, please send me the link which causes this problem so that I can test and find the solution.

Thanks

I've updated the extension and wrapper to the latest versions and it works as expected now in Nightly.

Good stuff!
