My paranoiae with encodings and win partitions
« on: April 26, 2005, 07:19:04 PM »

I have a little problem with the shared folders, as I will detail now. I use a FAT32 partition where I keep my shared files, shared for Linux and Windows. As I am Spanish and FAT32 doesn't admit Unicode, these files are in ISO-8859-1. In my Linux (Ubuntu) I use UTF-8 encoding, but there's no problem because I add the "utf8" option in my "fstab" on mounting and all accent characters are shown perfectly.

With aMule 2.0.0rc7 and wxGTK2.4, all works fine, except when I mark a folder to use it. If that folder has accent characters in its name, when it gets bold, these characters are shown strangely. For example, "Películas" becomes into "PelÃ-culas".

With aMule 2.0.0rc8 and wxGTK2.5.3, the folders with accent characters are not well shown and, although I select them, the files inside are not shared. The same happens with files with accent characters, although they are in a folder with simple characters. It's a pity, because that version is prettier ;)

At last, with both versions, every now and then there appears the following error while a file is downloading, when the download is over or on closing aMule:

13:21:56: Imposible establecer los permisos de '/home/benja/Descargas/Amule/001.part.met.backup' (error 1: Operación no permitida)
13:21:56: info: Imposible crear una copia de seguridad de '/home/benja/Descargas/Amule/001.part.met'
13:21:56:  (error 1: Operación no permitida)
13:21:56: Imposible establecer los permisos de '/home/benja/Descargas/Amule/001.part.met.bak' (error 1: Operación no permitida)
13:21:56: info: Imposible crear una copia de seguridad de '/home/benja/Descargas/Amule/001.part.met'
13:21:56:  (error 1: Operación no permitida)

Now I translate the messages to English:

* Imposible establecer los permisos == Impossible set permissions
* Imposible crear una copia de seguridad == Impossible create backup
* Operación no permitida == Operation not allowed

I don't know why that happens, because the shared folder, in a FAT32 partition, has all the permissions.

By the way, I've noticed another little bug. In Preferences -> General -> Integration with the Tray Icon, nothing is shown when there should be a radio-button with the options Gnome, Kde, etc. This happens with aMule 2.0.0rc8 and wxGTK2.5.3. Before, with aMule 2.0.0rc7 y wxGTK2.4, the radio-button were well shown.

With wxGTK >= 2.5.2 aMule uses the wx provided tray support, an there's no need for that selection box.

Your first problem is most probably seolved in current CVS, you might want to try it. (http://www.hirnriss.net/?area=cvs)
