What was your original filename? Could you post some of them up here?

I personally don’t have any problems with thumbnailing. So could you detail your problem?

I think I have solved this problem, but I’m not sure if this solution will cause other ploblems.

Open admin/functions.php in your nextgen-gallery directory, go to line 233 (inside function scandir( $dirname = '.' )), change $files[] = utf8_encode( $file ); into $files[] = $file;.

I’m not sure if I caught your meaning correctly, but except for the group name problem, everything works pretty well.

Thank you for this awesome plugin, I’ll translate it into Chinese when I have time.

Yes, they’re stored in the database.

All places that the group name are displayed showed up as question marks.

Yesterday I manually changed the group_name column’s encoding to utf8_general_ci and everything worked. So I guess this is just a minor database encoding issue.

I think you’ll just have to simply set the encoding to utf8_general_ci (and correct collation) when creating the table, then UTF-8 will work.

Thanks.
