[QUOTE="rtv, post: 202612, member: 12309"] Hehe - nice to see you're caring for it as well ;) Well the problem is not that easy.. If everything would use that function (that would have to be checked itself as well) everything was alright. Unfortunately filesystems do not allow different chars then those not supported by the database. So filenames (e.g. for cover files) use Makefilename and similar functions which might "clean" different chars than RemoveInvalidChars :( Furthermore this (of course) is not only a problem specific for cover art or music in general but for every part of MP. So even with much work fixing all places by using a common function which substitutes ALL chars that are not supported it would at least demand a complete rebuild of ALL databases and ALL thumbnails. On the other side this could be considered a needed change - therefore the earlier the better... [/QUOTE]
