I know this bug but I'm unable to reproduce, as you can see on the screenshot on my env everything works fine http://cl.ly/image/1c1b33241P09 Please may you attach to this bug a zip with left and right files and a screenshot? The files can be empty or with only a couple of character (just a string "hello") but I need the file names to try to reproduce the problem thanks for your feedback |

Thank you for your reply. I could not reproduce the problem with newly generated files on the same disc either. I tried with several usb sticks and different file systems. This seems to be the problem: With equal file systems the characters are well recognized. The windows formats NTFS and exFAT seem to use different character recogntions. The error only occurs when comparing HFS or HFS+ to those file systems. So its not a VisualDiffer bug after all :-) |

If I send you a modified version on VisualDiffer may you check it? Actually I use the same API used by Finder to compare strings but I would check if using a normal localized API the bug can be fixed |

Sure. |

Ok thanks for your time. The zip file http://bugs.visualdiffer.com/file_download.php?file_id=32&type=bug contains inside it two other zips, they use two different way to compare string. The diacritic version is not really appropriated because is case insensitive and I don't want that but documentation says "ignores diacritics (o-umlaut == o)" so I'm curious about result. - VisualDiffer-localizedCompare.zip - VisualDiffer-diacritic.zip How to test: You don't need to uninstall the MAS version, unzip the file is some other directory (for example creating a directory on your home) and then run your comparison test. Start using VisualDiffer-localizedCompare because I hope it fixes the problem. Thanks again |

Fantastic. Both of the versions recognize the files as same on different file systems. I still can reproduce the mismatch with the release version afterwords. The diacritic version also does the job with the ü umlaut. It also works with file names that have just a umlaut and no suffix. Hope to find this in the next release :-) Let me know if you need me to test anything else. |

Oh great!!! The diacritic version can't be used because it works only in ignore case mode and this is not what I want but the 'localizedCompare' version can safety replace the current (bugged) code. I will release a new version very soon with the 'localizedCompare' code so stay tuned :) You can't imagine how I'm happy to finally be able to fix this known bug, I've tried to replicate formatting disk in HFS, exFat, NTFS and comparing all the combinations without success, I've set my env in german another time without success. Thank you very much for your help |
