Service menu to convert filenames from and to utf-8
***
When you have files named with special characters as é è à ô etc. and a system using utf-8 you may have some problems. Old files created before your utf-8 system or files comming from windows may be encoded using iso-XXX charater set. So they will be badly displayed ! (usualy a square in place of character)
This service menu is designed to repair that by converting your filenames to and from utf-8.
***
Requirement:
- iconv : http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
- bash : http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/
***
Install:
- extract files
- copy the encodeRename.sh bash script somewhere in your PATH
(make sure it is executable)
- copy the changeFilenameCode.desktop to
- ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ for only one user
- /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ (as root) for all users
- edit changeFilenameCode.desktop to set up your code
ie: replace iso-8859-1 which is code for French characters
- restart konqueror

instead of a hand-grown script
that does only half of the job?
Instead of this script one could
just install convmv and run it
once and be done with it.
-> bad.

Your tool is nice. I have a suggestion: It would be nice to be able to convert filenames recursively (automatically going into directories).
Ideally that could be done with an extra "-r" option for the encodeRename.sh script. (and is not really needed inside the servicemenu entry).
Thanks!!

I will look at such an option but this should complicate the script a bit :)
Anyway you could do that with a find command (from iso-8859-1 to utf-8) :
find . -type f -execdir encodeRename.sh iso-8859-1 utf-8 {} \;
(This works only for files)
