Install a new tcsh shell for better UTF8 support
Authored by: carsten on Jun 15, '03 06:21:59PM

Found the problem with my setup.

For Finder drag-and-drop into the Terminal to work, I had to turn on the Escape 8-bit chars with Ctrl-V checkbox in the Terminal emulation settings.

Install a new tcsh shell for better UTF8 support
Authored by: beepotato on Jun 16, '03 10:24:52AM

Thanks ! It was my problem too.

In fact, I found that when you check this box and set the encoding to UTF8, drag-and-drop from the Finder to the Terminal and typing pathnames containing multibyte characters both work perfectly with the version of tcsh included in 10.2 (version 6.10.00). I tried it with french accented characters and chinese characters, both worked.

But it seems to be able to display multibyte characters only as backslashed Unicode numbers, so you might want to install version 6.12.00 anyway if you want these characters to display nicely. Still, version 6.10.00 is fully functionnal if you don't care about that.
