Neville,
The htaccess solution would also not harm other apps because the environment
variable is only set when executing .lc files and they’re only used within that
session.

Hi Matthias, I didn’t see your post until now. I did wonder if .htaccess could
be used using Rewrite rules, but I couldn’t get my head around the
documentation.
So it’s good to know both methods work. We are running other apps on the
website so I wonder a bit if setting the environment variabl
Hi Neville,
did you read my comment about setting the environment variable lang using
.htaccess?
That worked here and i could write non-ascii filenames using the "standard" LC
Server installation.
Regards,
Matthias

Thank you Mark, installing the launcher script to set environment variables has
fixed all my issues with non-ascii filenames. The documentation for installing
LCS could usefully make a note of these settings. And indeed TextEncode/Decode
both work as expected, my musings there were irrelevant.
It seems it is possible to set environment vars using redirect rules in
.htaccess.
I added the following lines to my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(lc) - [E=LANG:de_DE.UTF-8]
the 2nd line or better tells Apache not to redirect, but to 'use' the flag
[E=] when an .lc file is "
Hah! This reminds me of a time when Windows would allow files with names that
were legal for Mac to be written to its own file system who’s filenames were
NOT legal. The result is you could save the files, but you could never access
or delete them, neither could you delete any folder that contai

Thanks Mark for semi-unfuddling me. It’s good to know that textEncode/Decode is
not to blame.

What definitely works, at least here, is to urlencode the filename before
creating it
So that e.g. testä would be created as test%E4
As urlencode does not "harm" you could use it in general, not only for
non-ascii file names.
And if you want to display the "real" name you just have to urldecode
Thanks Mark and Matthias
I think it is clear the problem is not related to variant forms - if I replace
[e-acute] by any other non-ascii character, such as a Kanji character or emoji,
I get the same “can’t open that file” error. And the weird decoding of
[e-acute] to [E-grave] would be explaine
