 * I am using hyperlinks in lists but links with parameters like this:
    [http://www.filodiretto.it/site/polizze/amieasy/esclusioni.asp?Titolo=mansioni](http://www.filodiretto.it/site/polizze/amieasy/esclusioni.asp?Titolo=mansioni)
   get translated into: [http://www.filodiretto.it/site/polizze/amieasy/esclusioni.asp%3FTitolo=mansioni](http://www.filodiretto.it/site/polizze/amieasy/esclusioni.asp%3FTitolo=mansioni)
 * I also found that folder names with special chars (like “à”) does not wok in 
   tables.
    I can correctly see them but when folder is clicked I only get a page
   refresh instead to get the folder content showing.

 * I’ll have the ‘?’ issue fixed for dynamic links in the next release. As for Unicode
   characters, it’s a mess. PHP does not do well, and when I added Unicode support
   for common characters it created issues for non-English users who use special
   characters in other encodings. I will add a settings field where you can specify
   your own special characters to escape in the download links. You would provide
   the characters and their escape values and my system will escape them for you.
   3.1 is coming soon.

 * With your folder name with à in it, do you use the Unicode character or just 
   a character produced by your language pack keyboard?

 * Regarding the á characters in folder names, I just tested by creating two folders
   on my server, using File Away manager mode. With the first folder, I used Alt
   +0225 to make the á. For the second folder, I used my Spanish-language keyboard
   from the Windows 8 language pack. Typing `[a` produces: á
 * Both directories work fine in directory tree navigation on the File Away table.
   I’ve attached two screenshots. I’ll need more info from you to be able to troubleshoot
   the particular issue.
 * The querystring issue is an easy fix, and will be released soon with the next
   big update.

 * The first screenshot shows what the folders look like in my FTP client. The second
   shows that they look correct and are navigable on the File Away table.

 * And as it turns out, I also have not been able to duplicate your problem with
   parameters in dynamic links. Here are three screenshots. I copied the url you
   pasted above: `http://www.filodiretto.it/site/polizze/amieasy/esclusioni.asp?
   Titolo=mansioni`
 * and put it in my fileaway-url-parser.csv (as shown in a screenshot). Another 
   screenshot shows the link in the File Away table (called “Test”). The third screenshot
   shows the page it takes me to when I click on the link.

 * I used the character produced by my keybord.
    Now, trying to check the result
   with the unicode character, I found that all works correctly, also typing from
   the keyboard!?!?

 * I belive you when you say it works, I am trying to discover the difference between
   mine and yours installation to get it up.
 * This is the page you can use to see what I mean:
    [http://gregoassicurazioni.it/gestione-file?drawer=PpS*Filo_diretto*Viaggi](http://gregoassicurazioni.it/gestione-file?drawer=PpS*Filo_diretto*Viaggi)
 * This is my fileaway-url-parser.csv content:
    [http://imgur.com/pLCZ1MI](http://imgur.com/pLCZ1MI)
 * This is the URL I get when I click on the first link:
    [http://imgur.com/5mj4hbH](http://imgur.com/5mj4hbH)
 * As you can clearly see, the “?” changes in “%3F”.
    My fileaway-url-parser.csv
   is Unicode UTF8 encoded, what else can I check to solve this problem?

 * Ah, sorry. The reason I can’t duplicate it is because I had already fixed this
   issue in the version I’m developing, and I’d forgotten I’d done so. So you can
   fix it really easily in your install:
 * Open up wp-content/plugins/file-away/lib/inc/inc.dynamic-links.php
 * Go to line 50 and change this:
 * `$links[] = fileaway_utility::urlesc($dl['URL']);`
 * to this:
 * `$links[] = $dl['URL'];`
 * I had already done this several days ago in the new version 3.1 and had forgotten
   about it. By the way, version 3.1 will be coming with a new shortcode for creating
   and/or editing CSV files on the front-end. It will also support YouTube and Vimeo
   videos from your CSV file in Flightboxes.
