Folder name with diacritics invalid
Creation of a folder with a name containing a letter with diacritic sign returns an error "Error: The specified folder name is invalid" and does not create the folder.
All pieces of the customizable UI (typically names of things like folders, identities, etc.) should accept characters beyond the ASCII set, ideally UTF-8.
(Renaming an existing folder to a name containing a letter with diacritic sign returns an error with an empty string.)
It'll likely be fixed entirely on the backend, with no changes to Runbox7 itself. With that said, Runbox7 usage will still be our benchmark :) I'll keep this updated as work goes on.
The fix was deployed yesterday and so you should now see (and be able) to create folder names with arbitrary Unicode in them – in both Runbox7 and Runbox 6. Let me know if it's still broken.
Hey, the fix had to be (hopefully temporarily) reverted: it seems like fixing this broke character encoding for some existing users in some unexpected ways. We'll investigate what happened and will reapply the fix once we can be sure it doesn't break anything for anybody. Sorry for the rollercoaster.
Duplicate of https://github.com/runbox/runbox7/issues/38 but leaving it open as there is useful additional detail here.
