A quick test indicates that renaming an inventory item ( I used a notecard) does not permit entry of (spanish) accented characters.
My understanding is that non-ASCII characters are not allowed in names for any inventory items. I think it is intentional and is by design. The restriction is primarily by the server side code. We could ask LL to change it, but that's another issue.
This bug filing is on the default folder name of a new outfit folder. I believe that, whatever restriction is enforced for inventory item names, the default names for inventory items should be something that are allowed under the restriction. As inventory items, even folders, can be given to others, the names must be restricted to the character set that is known to be displayable by all.
My vote is to not internationalize default folder or item names. The issue persists in the latest (1.18.4) viewer.
This issue persists in 1.19.0, 1.19.1, and 1.20 RCs (0 to 2).
I produced a patch to fix the issue. (newoutfit..patch) It disables translated texts for "New Outfit" for languages in case the texts contain non ASCII characters. As a result, Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), and Chinese (zh) translations use an English name ("New Outfit") for the default folder name, once the attached patch is applied. The patch doesn't change behaviour of other languages, since those words for translated "New Outfit" don't contain non ASCII characters. NOTE that the attached patch file contain UTF-8 characters. You need a Uniocde capable tool to handle it. Thanks for reporting this up and through Viewer 1.20!
I have applied the patch which is the short-term fix – simply stop offering a default folder name which is known to not save to Inventory in that form. I tested this issue on 1.20 RC5 (1.20.5.86279) and found that it is fixed.
Thank you for the fix. |

that the viewer is handling the accented character correctly during editing Appearance,
but not in displaying the contents of the Inventory.
Does the Inventory display any accented characters?
