#SET UNICODE IN THUNDERBIRD FOR MAC MAC OS X#
#SET UNICODE IN THUNDERBIRD FOR MAC MAC#

Only one way to find out, so I tried it by doing this: If I run TWiki with i18n enhancements on a server running OS X, what happens if I want to move the site to a box with a different OS/filesystem? Would it be possible to transfer the files straight over to the new environment or would there be a need to recode the filenames? One implication that needs to be investigated is portability. Hopefully these files can be of use for the people that put their skills into further development of i18n. The resulting output files from this have been attached to this topic. Then I ran ls > filename on each of those files using ls in the same environment as they were created in.

Created the folder AnAufHinterInNebenÜberUnterVorZwischen in Finder running on OS X stored on HFS+ filesystem.

Created the topic AnAufHinterInNebenÜberUnterVorZwischen in TWiki running on OS X stored on HFS+ filesystem.

Created the topic AnAufHinterInNebenÜberUnterVorZwischen in TWiki running on Linux stored on reiserfs filesystem.

I've done some more testing to shed some light on how file names are treated in OS X. StefanLindmark is now testing on Perl 5.6.1 on Linux, which works fine.

If people using TWiki I18N find the filenames annoying on MacOS X, please open a new bug. (From emails) MacOS is creating quite weird looking filenames, but TWiki is working fine, so I'm setting this to BugResolved. I'm attaching TWiki.cfg and testenv output. Browser has not been configured in any way, but there are no configuration notes for Mozilla. See comment by StefanLindmark in InternationalisationEnhancements. (See MozillaURLEncodingWithI18N for original bug report from InternationalisationEnhancements - turned out to be mainly Mozilla UTF8 URL encoding issues.)

It's also possible that attachments using some I18N characters, uploaded from Mac clients and downloaded by Windows/Unix clients, could cause problems - not tested. TWiki does work OK, but the filenames are not very easy to use for administrators using the command line.

InternationalisationEnhancements tested with Mac OS X generate odd-looking file names, due to HFS+ and UFS filesystem UnicodeNormalisation issues. Bug: TWiki on Mac OS X server with I18N generates odd looking file names
