UnicodeEncodeError: about django-filebrowser HOT 10 CLOSED

check_file will be removed with the next version. however, we´re trying to solve that unicode issue with unicodedata.normalize("NFC", val) ... did that for another project and it seems to work. besides, I don´t think it´s a good idea to upload files with unicode-characters (you need to deal with possible downloads as well).

from django-filebrowser.

You should use unidecode library. As for "not uploading unicode chars", tell that to my clients :) Maybe there should be ascii validation at higher level to restrict that in this case.

sorry, but what´s the "unidecode library"?

from django-filebrowser.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode/ - basically transliteration

thanks, didn´t know that one.

from django-filebrowser.

should be solved with the storage-branch. at least I´m not able to reproduce the error anymore. please reopen the ticket if the problem still exists for you (btw, the storage-branch will be merged with master today or tomorrow).

Any ETA for release?

from django-filebrowser.

since there haven't been any more issues lately, I'm going to release 3.4.0 within the next couple of days.

Awsome!

I'm experiencing this issue with django-filebrowser-3.4.0 when trying to upload the file "Amino skład.JPG". The issue only comes up on production, I can't reproduce it locally. Problem doesn't occur when there are no national characters in the filename.
