Tom, and all,

Just to complete the "cover.jpg" idea (which I believe in), this would also make sense to have the capacity to add some notes at the folder level.
Think about methadata as we have for CBR/CBZ, but for a folder. For the overall summary of the serie e.g.

To be in line with Ubooquity philosophy, this would have to be defined by the administrator, on a txt file let's say, on the folder root. This way ubooquity would just scrap this file to feed the database...

Cheers,
Mat
Hi Tom,

Thanks for taking care so fast. And sorry, I should have provided those details :s

Browsers used were Safari on iOS (iOS 8.1.1 & 8.1.2) & on MAC OS Yosemite (10.10.1). Same behaviours observed.
Ubooquity is 1.6.0, on debian stable (wheezy 7.7), java 1.8.0_25, http, without proxying.

For the logs I checked in command line and indeed the accent was well there. So ok for the logs, coming from the browser apparently.

Then I recreated a user with an accent. Same issue appeared again in Safari on OS X. However everything went well in firefox, indeed, as you experienced o_O
So this would make this a pure safari issue... (which is not good for the compatibility of ubooquity, in any case).
In command line, preferences.xml well displayed the user name with the accent.

Then I found out that indeed my safari setting (on OS X) was not on UTF-8 (but "Occidental (ISO Latin 1)"). I don't remember if I set this or if this is the default setting.
Anyway, despite being now set on UTF-8, I still have the issue :-(
In the logs the user logs in well, with the accent (both in command line & browser now, which indicates the setting has well been taken into account).

I restarted safari (in case...): UTF-8 setting remains, but as well as the issue unfortunatly.

Let me know how I can help you dig into this.
Cheers,
Matthieu
