From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020621 BuildID: 2002062109 In filenames, characters other than 0-9,A-Z,a-z, or the _ . - , characters are saved with URI escape codes (space becomes %20, ä becomes %E4, etc.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a file with a space or other character not specified above. 2. Save it. Actual Results: Characters are still in URL escape codes. Expected Results: Converted the characters to standard ASCII codes. (Or JIS/SJIS/ISO-2022-JP codes for Japanese, etc.)
Actually, no. on ntfs, we have Unicode available, we should use it. on fat, we should so whatever ms suggests.

Agreed. Well, for non-ASCII characters use Unicode, otherwise just use ASCII. (Why waste two bits when you can use only one?)
