Name from NetSurf has underscores for percents

2017-11-17 Thread John Rickman 

Is this a bug?

If you open this link in NetSurf :-
https://hu.123rf.com/photo_34178186_soil-grooves-farming-earth-soil-grooves-over-field-for-crop-planting-on-rural-countryside-farm-lands.html

The webpage shows a JPEG of a ploughed field.
Then if you  menu>Object>Object>Save...   and drag/drop the jpeg onto 
an application eg Artworks, ChangeFSI etc the load fails because the 
file name is not correct.

(quoting Bernard Boase)-

NetSurf has output the file name as

 34178186-talaj-hornyok-mez_C5_91gazdas_C3_A1gi-earth-talaj-b
 ar_C3_A1zd_C3_A1k-f_C3_B6l_C3_B6tt-mez_C5_91-n_C3_B6v_C3_A9n
 y-_C3_BCltet_C3_A9si-a-vid_C3_A9ken-m/jpg

but the underscores should be percent signs to code for letters with
Hungarian diacritics in Unicode:

 34178186-talaj-hornyok-mez_C5%91gazdas%C3%A1gi-earth-talaj-b
 ar%C3%A1zd%C3%A1k-f%C3%B6l%C3%B6tt-mez%C5%91-n%C3%B6v%C3%A9n
 y-%C3%BCltet%C3%A9si-a-vid%C3%A9ken-m/jpg

whereupon it works into the apps.

No. It is a function of the RISC OS filer and the wimp message
protocol.

See my post in the ArtWorks maillist, where you also posted this
message.

Different here. If I try to save that image into Transient's directory 
for today, I get:

Transient: Message block is too big / not a multiple of 4 (code2484)

If I drag it straight to DPlngScan, the image opens correctly, but I 
can't save it. The error message here is:

Error from DPlngScan: Can't open 
SCSI::SSD.$.Utilities.Computer.Transient.Default.2017/11/17.

I don't understand what any of that means!

Best wishes,

Peter.

Is % actually a valid character in a Fileswitch filename? It represents the
CSD, and is included in the reserved characters list, so I'd suggest not.

So NetSurf is correct to replace % with _ when saving to a RISC OS filing
system.
