Title: unicode filenames with TrIDLib
Post by: aneumann on October 14, 2008, 06:11:01 AM

Hey, TrID is a very cool product!!

I'm trying to identify the file type of some files with japanese characters in the filename using the C# sample code that comes with TrIDLib. Unfortunatley TrIDLib doesnt return any results for these files. My code runs fine on files with regular ASCII filenames. Ive also tried the japanese files in TrIDNet, and they identify fine there.

I figure this is something solved by using TrIDEngine directly from C# as opposed to using TrIDLib. Just thought it worth asking if anyone has encountered similar problems?

Thanks Adam!

Yes, in facts at the moment TrIDLib don't support Unicode filenames.
But this will change very soon, with the next update.

I'm also being affected from this issue on files with Arabic filenames. Is an updated version of the DLL likely to be released anytime soon.

TrIDLib is a great piece of software btw!
