I recently had to do a backup of my music collection to an NTFS drive that is read under windows 10. Unfortunately, my files contain characters that are not valid and thus the files get removed at the first chkdsk. I've spent quite some time googling this issue, but could not come up with a sufficient solution - there's a tool called detox, which will basically remove the illegal chars and replace them by underscores, but it fails on german special accents (ISO8859-15) and replaces them with some garbage.
There is a known bug with filename handling and Windows (in EasyTAG): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689450Fixing it requires going through the whole EasyTAG codebase and making sure that filename encoding conversion is handled properly at each step. This can get pretty complicated, and I have not had the time to do this yet.
My idea here is that EasyTag could actually have an option to replace a list of characters with another list of characters - like two arrays. for example it should substitute ä with ae ö with oe ü with ue many other special chars should just be removed. I have found no option in the current easytag - can anyone help me out, please?
You might be able to use the "Process fields" part of the scanner, but it would be pretty cumbersome to replace each of the characters in turn.
