 * Hello,
    I am writing the file names in Greek thinking that it saves the name 
   as a utf-8 encoding but it’s not. It’s saving it into ISO-8859-1 and the result
   I get in the Data Table using File Away is a lot of black question marks.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * The ancientest of issues. Use a language-pack keyboard if you got one. PHP has
   issues with utf8.

 * Sorry but I do not understand what you mean. I have already installed greek language
   pack since I do have the ability to write in Greek (no?) what tasks should I 
   do more?
