Danish and Norwegian letters replaced in filenames with underscore

🚀 Support (Q&A)
1

When I create a vkt.DownloadResult(output_file, output_file_name) with a filename containing special Danish and Norwegian letters like ‘æøå’, the filename of the downloaded file does not contain these letters but is replaced with a underscore. e.g vkt.DownloadResult(output_file, 'bygværk.txt') becomes ‘bygv_rk.txt’.

Is it possible to change the encoding for filenames to uft-8 or latin1?

Hi Thomas, thanks for reporting.

This is currently a limitation on our side, we will look into supporting these characters.

Hi @khameeteman,

We have a similar problem where any spaces in the filename gets replaced by underscores.

vkt.DownloadResult(output_file, 'name with spaces.txt') becomes ‘name_with_spaces.txt’.

This is not the desired output our users are expecting. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for your input, just in time as we were about to release a fix tomorrow. We can support whitespaces as well!
