 * What was your original filename? Could you post some of them up here?
 * I personally don’t have any problems with thumbnailing. So could you detail your
   problem?

 * I think I have solved this problem, but I’m not sure if this solution will cause
   other ploblems.
 * Open admin/functions.php in your nextgen-gallery directory, go to line 233 (inside`
   function scandir( $dirname = '.' )`), change `$files[] = utf8_encode( $file );`
   into `$files[] = $file;`.

 * I’m not sure if I caught your meaning correctly, but except for the group name
   problem, everything works pretty well.
 * Thank you for this awesome plugin, I’ll translate it into Chinese when I have
   time.

 * Yes, they’re stored in the database.
 * All places that the group name are displayed showed up as question marks.
 * Yesterday I manually changed the group_name column’s encoding to utf8_general_ci
   and everything worked. So I guess this is just a minor database encoding issue.
 * I think you’ll just have to simply set the encoding to utf8_general_ci (and correct
   collation) when creating the table, then UTF-8 will work.
 * Thanks.
