Hello,
again, I am facing a Windows path problem:
If you include a graphics, which is placed in a directory with German
umlauts, the graphics file name get corrupted. This also happens if the
relative path is umlaut-free.
Example: Your LyX doc is located in
/c/Documents and Settings/itsyou/Veröffentlichungen/foo.lyx
It refers to a graphics called
/c/Documents and Settings/itsyou/Veröffentlichungen/images/graph.jpg
In the graphics dialog, the file name is shown by its relative path
images/graph.jpg
not here. For every umlaut in the graphics path also in the graphics dialog an
extra character is
displayed - and i just found the reason:
In makeRelPath(..) for every umlaut in abspath or basepath there are two
characters in the
std::string. For determining the matching length of the two strings (using
os::common_path()) they
are converted to docstrings. Converting the strings to docstrings with
from_utf8() results in one
character for every umlaut. The resulting matching length of the two strings is
based on the
docstring length but is then used to split the std::strings (which are longer).
the bug was introduced with changeset 17430 (Georg?)
