Work with russian filenames

[Sedoj]

I use NAV. This extensions works fine with english filenames. But it works wrong with russian file names (and I think with other non-latin languages too).
For example: I save html "Corba Глава 1.htm" and NAV shows dialog with message
"Unable to open the file G:\Corba ;020 1.htm.
Please make sure the file exists on your system and the path and filename are correct."
Russian "Глава" converts to the hex "13 3B 30 32 30". And sure NAV can not find such file.
Could you fix it?

I'm not sure how I would fix this, but I'll put it on my list of things to look at, thanks

I found workaround for this bug. This isn't solution, just workaround for me. In file
downscan.jar:content\downscan\downscanoverlay.js
after
if(wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser") != window) { // Only want this executed once, so only do it with the most recent browser window
return;
}
I add

charset = "windows-1251" //russian Windows charset
try {
var uniConv = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/intl/scriptableunicodeconverter']
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter);
uniConv.charset = charset;
data = uniConv.ConvertFromUnicode(elmpath);
}
catch(e) {
d(e); //I uncomment d() at the end
}

elmpath = data

And it seems that it works. But I have no idea have to make it suitable for all languages.

Hey, nice work. I've found the firefox preference for the default charset and attempted to make it work for anyone. Could you try this code and see if it works for russian filenames (and latin?) I must confess I don't really know much about charsets and the like, but if this works, I'll add it to the extension.


try {
var defCharset = db_pref.getComplexValue("intl.charset.default", Components.interfaces.nsIPrefLocalizedString).data;
var uniConv = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/intl/scriptableunicodeconverter']
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter);
uniConv.charset = defCharset;
var convertedPath = uniConv.ConvertFromUnicode(elmpath);
elmpath = convertedPath;
}
catch(e) {}

Yes, it seems that it works. I try to save page from russian search engine Yandex (ya.ru). They name themself "Яndex" first letter is russian and other is latin. And my NAV scans this file and says that all OK. So for me it works.
