My music library includes files with Funky Unicode Names and I have no idea if it's Android, KDE/Dolphin, or the SD card but it regularly eats entire albums and doesn't show them in the media library nor file browsers even though the files exist.
I mention KDE because as far as I remember this didn't happen on Windows. I'll have to try and copy them via MTP on it. MTP transfers of these cursed files always fail on Dolphin.
And on Android 13. Wow I suck ass at typing the words.
Interesting. sftp? I think that's what KDE Connect uses? does properly show that the file exists upon trying to create it, but it's nowhere to be found when listing.
Definitely some filename fuckery going on. Taking a file from the folder and removing its funky naming totally lets me chuck it at the phone, no questions asked.
Could this be a regression in Android 13? Or just a really broken implementation of Android by my device's OEM?
I COULD try and tinker with that dynamic partitioning thingy to boot clean Android and check it like that
Seems like it is indeed Android 13. I tried this same album on an Android 7 (MIUI 11?) phone I have around and while it absolutely cannot display the album titles, it does show the files and can interact with them. Android 13/ColorOS 4.0 cannot.
I yoinked the SD card from the ColorOS phone and the files Are There. The OS just can't see'm.
Although, last night before bed I was reading up on the exFAT spec and I seem to remember reading up on how filename management is sort of up to the implementation? It could be that the filesystem handling baked in-house at Oppo just sucks.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, this only happens on external storage.
