I was wrong, any filesave method just saves into whatever encoding, opening the resultant file in gedit gives an ecoding error and none whatsoever encoding import helps.
When I edit the original with gedit I can open it (it is UTF-8) and saving it will preserve all the locale strings in any language. What I do is loading a file and put it in the keyfile object with: keyFile.load_from_file(this._path, (GLib.KeyFileFlags.KEEP_COMMENTS | GLib.KeyFileFlags.KEEP_TRANSLATIONS)); I can manipulate the resulting buffer with all the keyfile methods. When I log the buffer to stdout, everything is preserved, but when I write that same buffer to file it gets all garbled. I really don't understand. I also don't understand why there is no keyFile.to_file(); method. -- (o_ //\ Regards, Groeten, V_/_ Bas Burger.
