Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese conversion

Post by 4rF3tk »

Many of my files have names with Simplified or Traditional Chinese characters. I hope that when I search, I only need to enter Simplified or Traditional Chinese characters, and the search results will also include files with names that contain corresponding Traditional or Simplified Chinese characters.

For example, I have two txt files named "萤火虫.txt" and "螢火蟲.txt" respectively, "螢" and "蟲" are the traditional forms of "萤" and "虫" while "火" remains the same in both forms. When I enter "萤火虫" or just "萤" or just "蟲", I hope both files will appear in the search results.

I know this can be done with syntax or maybe some regexs, but I still need to type both simplified and traditional characters, so it's a bit tedious to do it every time.

Currently, there are many implementations of Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese conversion, such as OpenCC, which is a relatively mature project, I am not sure whether it can be integrated into Everything.

I have on my TODO list to use the following table when Match Diacritics is unchecked under the Search menu:

Everything can only do single character to single character mappings.

Thank you for the suggestion.
