problem with french accented characters in V0.39 beta

Post by Markorki »

hello,

The new version is very much improved, and now almost as rich as V1.98.2 thanks for this good job !

There is though a problem of french characters. It seems to affects only (?) IPTC metadata

This screenshot shows that "chène près du belvédère de Côte Rouge."
is displayed as "chne prs du belvdre de Cte Rouge" , which is more compact ;-) but not what i typed in.

This screen is different, with all characters OK (but shows a problem of refresh: recent subdirectory "conv" absent from tree panel, despite several "refresh" commands")

Image


Accented characters are ok in fields other than IPTC , such as directory path or "info" used in full screen display, as long as this "info" is not extracted from Iptc fields, as you can see in this small crop from a full screen display of a picture:

corresponding to this option :

My config : Ubuntu 10.04-LTS_64bits / Asus AMD-64_singlecore

Hi, Pierre

The picture is here :

but the problem is with all my pictures with french text.

Do you suspect character encoding ?
Some of my pictures are IPTC commented using Exifer, some others with windows XnView, the problem seems to affect all of them.

Désolé pour le délai de ma réponse. En fait, l'IPTC n'est pas en UTF8, donc il y a un probleme d'encodage.
Dans option>Metadata, changez pour windows-1252
Pierre.
