[Resolved] Digital Downloads with Japanese file & directory names not displaying

[Jackrabbitass]

I sell Japanese study audio downloads.

Director names and file names use Japanese characters like "動物.mp3" (for "animals.mp3")

because my customers are Japanese.

However, these files are not displaying in "Download Filemanager" page.  

If I rename the file to English it displays.　Otherwise nothing displays at all.  

Also, Japanese directory names do not display in Filemanager either.  Instead, they directory name displays  like this "________" .

Is there any way to make directories and files display in Japanese?

Please try this. (I will experiment, myself, later.)

In /classes/filemanager.class.php, near line 534 -- in the function formatName():

Find:
return preg_replace('#[^\w\.\-\_]#i', '_', $name);

Change to:
return preg_replace('#[^\w\.\-\_]#iu', '_', $name);

If that doesn't work, try (just a wild guess if this will work):
return preg_replace('#[^\p{L}\w\.\-\_]#iu', '_', $name);

Just now tried the first edit. Seems to work.

Probably this development workstation (WinXP-SP3) isn't setup for UTF-8 file system as what I get when I create a folder using those foreign characters above (animals), I actually see 動物. But CubeCart shows it correctly.

That doesn't work for me. Creating a folder called 動物 returns __

So to my understanding it boils down to sever config as to what the regex character class "\w" matches. Some servers will only allow [a-zA-Z_0-9] whilst others allow "foreign" characters.

A bit more info here... http://php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.character-classes.php

I have more digging to do yet. 

From my testing on Max OSX the following works well. Thanks Brian. 

#[^\p{L}\w\.\-\_]#iu

Problem solved. Thanks very much.  I did your 1st suggestion and filenames are properly displaying in "Download Filemanager" page now.
