To fix 1, you need to use Unicode strings (or if the filesystem is written with a specific ISO character page, you have to find out which one, I think - maybe they automatically remap to Unicode, not sure). Your filesystem is 99+% going to be UTF-8 aware. English works fine for you because ISO-8859-1 maps to the first page of UTF-8 anyway (this is intentional). But everything else is going to look like it was written to a Windows box.
I'm not sure about number 2... you may have to parse the string to change it. -----Original Message----- From: gtk-app-devel-list-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:gtk-app-devel-list-boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of sledge hammer Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 1:55 PM To: gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org Subject: Problems using/understanding drag-and-drop. Hi, In my app I want the user to drag-n-drop files from nautilus, then the application should open them. I am using as Targets: 1. STRING 2. text/plain Then when the drag_data_received() signal is emitted, I use the get_text() method on the SelectionData to get the text. Everything works fine but I have 2 problems: 1. non-english filenames(glib::ustrings) output garbled content 2. spaces in the filename are represented as "%20" Obviously this is a charset encoding problem. But I can't find a way to deal with it. Any ideas? Sidenote: I actually pass the filename string to gstreamer but it errors. Also I use gtkmm and C++, but I think C/GTK guys will be able to help me too. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Σύρετε φωτογραφίες στο παράθυρο του Messenger.
