After some more experimenting, I maybe have a hunch. Could it be that something goes wrong between keyfile handing over it's buffer and putting that in a javascript string? The input file is 17809 The keyfile.to_data() tells that the number of bytes is 17838 after adding "blahblah" The javascript string, after receiving the data, reports 13961 with string.length
I tried to feed the keyfile.to_data() directly into the GLib.file_set_contents, but I think it still uses a javascript string. To be continued... -- (o_ //\ Regards, Groeten, V_/_ Bas Burger.
