changeFilenameCode

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
