Vlada,
In updating my local Certificate Wizard fork to be based off 0.3b, I
observed an issue introduced during your cleanup of my CopyOneFile
function.
My original code:
snprintf(buffer, MAXLINELEN, "Unable to copy \"%s\" to \"%s\" - error %d:
%%s", source, target, errorCode);
DisplayErrorToUser(errorCode, "Failure copying files", buffer);
Your replacement code:
snprintf(buffer, MAXLINELEN, _("Unable to copy '%s' to '%s' - error %d",
0), source, target, errorCode);
strcat(buffer, ": %%s");
DisplayErrorToUser(errorCode, _("Failure copying files", 0), buffer);
These aren't functionally equivalent: The latter results in a literal
'%s' being displayed to the user, whereas the former displays a textual
description of the error message being substituted for the %s (which
snprintf replaces %%s with) inside DisplayErrorToUser. Either the strcat
should only append '%s' rather than '%%s', or '%%s' should be used in
the snprintf (which is the approach I prefer -- but perhaps it
interferes with the internationalization or somesuch?).
Additionally, I noticed a bug from my original code that you inherited:
in DisplayErrorToUser, the MsgBox call should take the description
parameter (rather than a hardcoded string) as its argument.
The sum of non-site-specific changes I've made comes to the following:
