File charset makes files fail to work

If I upload files with Cyrillic names such files are not shown then.
If these are photos, they're not shown, if these are MP3-tracks, they're not played.
What to do?

Change the names to English is a good bet ??? Cyrillic I don't know, but I have no problem with Chinese characters

I want Russian characters to work as well. Renaming doesn't suit me.

If you get the Russian to work ok, would my computer be able to read it ?? to read the Chinese, I have to set my "locale" to China...

Admin-> Settings-> Languages then select "Russian".... scroll down to "Main menu" and you can type in the Russian language for your gallery name in the browser... may I have a link to your gallery, I would love to see if I can interpret the Cyrillic ok ??????

You need to have ID3 in UTF8, iTunes for example does that.

The problem is that all files named in Cyrillic characters don't work till Cyrillic characters are removed fom their names. I want this problem to be solved somehow because I can't rename big amounts of files every time.

I am afraid this can't be solved, you need to rename files, the thing is, filesystem is not in utf-8, thus there is no way for imagevue to read those files correctly.
Ofcourse if there been easy workaround we'd built it already, that'll just will get people into more troubles. That's why we always say – name your files in plain latin.
More than that, next release will rename files on upload automatically.
