Nautilus Filename Repairer

Nautilus Filename Repairer is a nautilus extension which provides context menu to change the selected filename to correct encoding if the file has invalid encoding. You can easily rename a file by selecting a context menu item. In many cases, users don't know what is the correct filename if it has wrong encoding. Only when they examine the filename with some encoding conversion tool, they can determine the filename. This extension just provides such feature. It suggests some candidates for the filename.

This extension also fixes URL encoded filename, such as "%EC%95%88%EB%85%95%ED%95%98%EC%84%B8%EC%9A%94".

How to use it

If you have any file which looks like a image below, click the file with mouse right button.

Now, you can see suggested filename in the context menu. If the suggested file name is meaningful to you, select it.

Or you still don't see any meaning full name, then go to the "Select filename" menu. You can see some other suggestions as a sub-menu.

The above examples are in Korean and Chinese, but this extension may work in other locales. See this Russian example:
