I found the problem, faulty reference told me bufferlen has to be placed after buffer in aruments, this is not true.
Filewriting works, but also freaking ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. Translating encoding is no option as there are many locale in this .desktop file that I have in buffer, and all need to be preserved. I just want a UTF-8 buffer written to file, nothing more, that should be possible, no? If not then I am speechless *facepalm*. -- (o_ //\ Regards, Groeten, V_/_ Bas Burger.
