Korean Alphabets in Files
« on: November 18, 2016, 10:24:23 am »

Hi-

Korean alphabet(Hangul) is rather different as described in the Wiki like below:

'In its classical and modern forms, the alphabet has 19 consonant and 21 vowel letters. However, instead of being written sequentially like the letters of the Latin alphabet, Hangul letters are grouped into blocks, such as 한 han, each of which transcribes a syllable. That is, although the syllable 한 han may look like a single character, it is actually composed of three letters: ㅎ h, ㅏ a, and ㄴ n.'

In JRiver, Hangul in ID3 tags show up pretty well as long as the code page is in unicode. The main problem is in Hangle in the file name and folder name. Every Hangul named files in the Files view show up 'sequentially' rather than 'composed'. So for example, if there is a file named '음악.mp3' in a folder named '한글', it is displayed as '/ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅡㄹ/ㅇㅡㅁㅇㅏㄱ.mp3', while the correct form should be '/한글/음악.mp3'

There is no problem in playing the music file, but it creates mess when you want to manage the files based on the file/folder name. ie. update ID3 tags, move/rename files, ...

I've been waiting this to be solved from the first day of MacOS version release. It would be really nice to see this one fixed.

thanks,

It seems MC does not follow Mac OS Unicode.
They say Mac OS uses NFD while other OS uses NFC

Can we have this fixed?
This bug makes real pain in using MC.
