There's a significant issue with UTF-8 in the application.

As I've reported before, the displayed text messes up non-latin date's if a nonlatin locale is used. So this persists.

On top of that, alarms work now on the N900, great man!

Howerer, if the file used for the alarm has nonlatin, i.e. UTF-8 text in it's path, i.e. I have tried with Japanese and Russian folder names and songnames, the alarm is not gonna play, i.e. it cannot access the file, since it also messes up the folder or file name when selected. You can select the folder and file, however the displayed name is again garbage, i.e. not properly UTF-8 decoded, and doesn't play.

The only way 'round this currently, if you have these folders and filenames, is to symlink them to plain ASCII folders and files, then the alarm plays.

So, I'd recommend if possible to address UTF-8 support in the app if time permits.

However, thanks for the great app! Very good indeed!

In an earlier post there are instructions on how to clear those unwanted alarms, also earlier posts confirm that if you have set an alarm, and if FlipClock is not running, at the set alarm time FlipClock will run on its own (clock face will display) and alarm will sound.
