A question for the geek Simon about NFC / NFD - lyapounov - 07-04-2017 20:00
Hello Simon
first, this post could be elsewhere, feel free to move.
Here is the problem : I transfer all my music from my Macbook to a NAS (Qnap or Syno) using Transmit .
And of course, all accented letters are coded using Apple's horrible 2 characters NFD coding. As a result, files or folders with accented letters don't sync with Amazon cloud.
I was searching for a way to convert automatically from NFD to NFC on the NAS.
It seems iconv("UTF-8-MAC", "UTF-8", $file) should do the job, however, even if phpinfo says the contrary, it seems iconv is not available, neither on qnap nor on synology.
Simon, I know you did it in java, but how did you adress this issue ?
Thx

Sorry for jumping in here, which NAS are you using?
I can't help you with Synology, but if you are using a QNAP you can easily add PHP iconv support by installing the Optware package and then doing:
Code:
ipkg update
ipkg install php-iconvRE: A question for the geek Simon about NFC / NFD - lyapounov - 07-04-2017 21:37
Thx BlueDog
yes a Qnap, to which I am new.
ipkg not installed, and I don't find optware under appStore. I read it is now deprecated...

I used the java.text.Normalizer class to convert to NFC if the data is not already in NFC format.

Thanks Simon

Wow! I did not know that, I just hope my QNAP never fails as I rely on Optware for a lot of things.
The way I see it you have two options:
Have a dig around the 'net and QNAP forums and see if there is still a package available that you can install manually, or install another app package that will install iconv as a dependency.
Actually, there is a third option but a bit of messing around. Now you have the files on your QNAP you could copy them across to a PC, fix the encoding there, then copy them back to the NAS again.

So, I did a bit of digging around and there is an alternative for Optware called Entware:
https://github.com/Entware-ng/Entware-ng/wiki/Install-on-QNAP-NAS
From what I can gather it's a replacement but not an official Qnap package, so you'll have to follow the manual install instructions as it won't show up in the Qnap package manager.

Thx, but not possible.
Actually : all my filenames are ithout any accent, no blank, etc.. I have a php procedure which does exwtract from the track name and clean it.
The issue is with my folder names : some have accents.
But copying them on a PC means a) I have a PC and b) copying 2.5 T of data...
This is why I am searching for a way to do it on the Qnap itself.
Will investigate your package. Thx for this.
