Description
Steps to reproduce
- Put some files (not all with those characters) in any folder
- Include this folder by external storage (local)
Expected behaviour
Every file in this folder shoud be scanned and shown in the files-app.
Actual behaviour
These files came through download on the harddisk of my homeserver. The folder containing the downloaded files are configured as “local” external storage in my nextcloud.
Files and folders with german “umlaute” created by nextcloud in the files-app appear in the file listings. Other files and folders (from download) are ignored by the occ-file-scan.
While file-scan in debug mode the following messages appear in nextcloud.log.
There have to be Lügen instead of L\u00fcgen and Hölle instead of H\u00f6lle for example.
