Hi all, Sorry for the long subject, I was studying the glib2 source, and i discovered how to read the Arabic names "however there is problems with files containing numbers- at least with me - " Here is what i did exactly: $ export CHARSET=ISO_8859-6 $ export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=0 then # umount /mnt/win_f "cause it was already mounted" # mount -t auto /dev/hda7 /mnt/win_f/ -oiocharset=iso8859-6 after that everything should be fine, "I've attached a screen shot showing nautilus 2 "though i don't use gnome but i didn't find an application except that ;)" Sorry the screen shot is large in size but it's 5:44 now and i'm so tired to modify it via The GIMP!!! Also the title bar "using sawfish2" doesn't display correctly, but i think that's a font issue and i don't feel like learning LISP to modify sawfish configuration files ======== If you don't have enough experience with Linux and/or programming, Don't read the following ;) ======== Here is my explanation: the file browser calls g_filename_to_utf8() which calls the function have_broken_filenames() if have_broken_filenames() returns true, g_locale_to_utf8() is called have_broken_filenames() checks if the variable G_BROKEN_FILENAMES is defined, if so it returns TRUE otherwise FALSE is returned. now since we did define G_BROKEN_FILENAMES, have_broken_filenames() returns TRUE, so g_locale_to_utf8() gets called g_locale_to_utf8() checks for the variable CHARSET and concerts the filenames to utf8 from it using g_convert() and since we passed mount "-ocharset=iso8859-6", and CHARSET = ISO-8859_6 everything works fine -- ---------------- -- Katoob Main Developer Linux registered user # 224950 ICQ # 58475622 With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibilities.
