I want to use dired+
in Emacs
for browsing directory paths on Windows 7.
I'm having problems with special characters like äöü in dired
mode and in attachment paths:
dired
When I'm trying to access a directory with
M-x dired
, the displayed path contains strange characters like e.g.- "\374" for "ü"
- or "\366" for "ö".
Same is true for directory and file listings displayed by dired
.
Is there a setting which can make dired
display the characters with the correct encoding?
Attachment paths
my other problem seems to be related*:
- I currently added a long server path as attachment directory in org-mode, like
//servername/dir1/dir2/dir2/dir4/etcetera/Zubehör/
(I usually copy the UNC path in Windows 7 Explorer with the PathCopy context menu)
The path is shown like that in :ATTACH_DIR: in the properties with the "ö" correctly displayed.
However, when I type C-c C-a C-f
to open the directory in Windows Explorer, it creates a new directory at the same path called Zubehör and then opens this oneinstead of the right one.
How can I solve those 2 problems?
