Find And Run Robot / Internationalization issues
« on: June 08, 2006, 08:12 AM »
I'm running XP Home SP2 with a French installation, however I do alot of work in Hebrew, so that's the default 'special characters' language. Because of this, I noticed that FARR will not search directories that have such special characters in their names, it seems this is true unless the special characters are coming from another latin-based language like French or German. In my case this is particularly annoying since my user's Start Menu is found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jacob\Menu Démarrer
However, due to the Hebrew special characters, it's rendered as:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jacob\Menu D'marrer
And then FARR annoyingly skips the stuff inside. I was able to get around this by using Sysinternals' Junction to create some symlinks, and then have FARR search those.
Is this a known issue?
