Is it possible to add Shift JIS support to the E-Hentai uploader so that it recognizes Japanese characters? Some games/CG sets have filenames with Japanese characters. The uploader currently converts these filenames/characters to gibberish.

P.S. Not really a pressing concern, but it would be nice to have this feature (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

What? No, no, no, not shift jis.

You can write japanese characters in the search bar all you need is a decent input method. The search bar is in utf8. [yudit.org] yudit is the oldest and simplest of editors for utf8, you can find better stuff if you search around.



And stop supporting shitty standards like Shift JIS, thanks

OP talking about uploading files. Filenames in Japanese script are butchered and file upload can even fail, if you uploading archive and within multiple files with non-latin letters in their names.
If it would support some kind unicode, it would really help.

It shouldn't fail after some improvements made some time back, but it doesn't actually handle Unicode either, characters that aren't alphanumerical (with a few exceptions) should be simply blanked.

The characters don't show though. Crossing fingers and hoping for better support (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's completely intentional that non-alphanumericals are stripped. Many people would have problems saving files and opening archives containing files with Unicode filenames. There are also technical database reasons, ISO 8859-1 takes about a third the space of a Unicode-capable field. So all in all, it's unlikely that will change.
