Problem with Character ✔ (u2714) and no error message

[xinni]

Hello,

if I have this character ✔ in foldernames, nconvert refuses to work:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp>C:\NConvert\nconvert.exe -v -negate "C:\#test\Test ✔\test.jpg"
** NCONVERT v7.172 (c) 1991-2024 Pierre-E Gougelet (Feb 19 2024/14:50:40) **

nconvert does not even show an error, which it does when entering a path without special charater, but with a non-exsiting-filename, like here:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp>C:\NConvert\nconvert.exe -v -negate "C:\#test\Test\no_existing_file.jpg"
** NCONVERT v7.172 (c) 1991-2024 Pierre-E Gougelet (Feb 19 2024/14:50:40) **

  Error: Can't open file (C:\#test\Test\no_existing_file.jpg)

##########################Files opened: 0

while nconvert works nicely without that (or other very special) character:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp>C:\NConvert\nconvert.exe -v -negate "C:\#test\Test\test.jpg"
** NCONVERT v7.172 (c) 1991-2024 Pierre-E Gougelet (Feb 19 2024/14:50:40) **

I tried several things, like "escaping" that character with "\u2714" but it did not help.

Also, I can't take care of all special characters before the batch run, because normally, I don't own the folders.

How can I make nconvert work with spacial characters?

Thank you.

do you use the unicode version?

do you use the unicode version?

Wonderful, thank you very much!
I was completely unaware that in 2024 we still need two different versions to handle special characters. ;-D
I remember, back in the days, there were unicode and ansi....

Wonderful, thank you very much. It worked. However, I couldn't find a Unicode version for download on the website.
Where can I find this Unicode version for Mac and Linux?

Again, thank you very much!

the windows unicode version is always in test. On MacOS & Linux, utf8 is used
