Doesn't work on a ""spanish"" ubuntu 12.04

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The filenames doesn't appear well on my nautilus. We want repair with this app 
but there isn't a correct solution. I tried with different encodings without 
results.

I saw that the substitution characters are:

%82 = é 
%a0 = á
%a1 = í
%a2 = ó
%a3 = ú
%a4 = ñ
%a8 = ¡

I have attached a screencapture with a list of files with bads subtitutions...

Thank you for your reporting.
It seems that your filenames are in really old encoding.
I will look into it.

It seems that the correct encoding is CP437.
I will add CP437 to default encoding list.
But in the mean time, you can change filenames by adding CP437 to the encoding 
list.

Select "Other ..." in the encoding list combo box, then a new dialog box which 
have a text entry to input encoding name manually will be poped up.
Then enter "CP437".
Now you can select CP437 in the repair dialog.

I expect that the modern encoding value of MS-Windows for spanish is CP1252.
So CP1252 is the default value for spanish.
CP437 is very old, and I think it isn't so frequently used.
So I will not change the default value.

CP437 was added to the encoding list for repair dialog.
