Hi!
Although Mp3tag is a great tool, it becomes useless when it comes to handling polish diacritical characters in tags and filenames.
The problems I have are as follows:
- Mp3tag displays strange characters in place of polish characters in tag edition fields,
- corectly entered in those fields polish characters are changed to incorect characters (squares),
- changing filename according to a tag with polish diacritical characters results in wrong filenames (like with the two above issues to squares and other incorect characters).
## It would be great to have Mp3tag handling my national characters without any problems, because it is very useful tool and I like it. I belive it will be no problem for you to correct this bug.
best regards,
p.h.

Please try to enable Decode ISO-8859-1 tags using system codepage at Options \> Tags \> Mpeg.
This should solve your problem.
