scan: item is not in UTF8 encoding - assist

Support

Im geting this error “scan: item is not in UTF8 encoding” and I have tried everything to have the sync ignore it - I’ve tried these ignore patters */

[^\x00-\x7F]*
*[! -~]*
**/*[! -~]*

but no luck - is there another way?

What is the items name that it complains about?

That check happens before ignore patterns, so the ignore patterns will have no effect on it. (In part because if we can’t interpret the filename we can’t generally compare it to ignore patterns.)

Syncthing requires filenames to be in UTF-8.
