      • nikki_
        yes
      • 2005-07-01 18217, 2005

      • ruaok
        lets assume the user sets that to latin1
      • 2005-07-01 18235, 2005

      • ruaok
        but there is a file on the harddrive that is encodede in koi8-r.
      • 2005-07-01 18249, 2005

      • ruaok
        specifically the filename is encoded in koi8-r.
      • 2005-07-01 18211, 2005

      • ruaok
        so when picard attempts to read the filename in 8859 and then convert that to utf-8/unicode, it barfs.
      • 2005-07-01 18241, 2005

      • ruaok
        so, in case something barfs we're going to have to do some encoding guessing or user selecting of encodings.
      • 2005-07-01 18255, 2005

      • nikki_
        surely it would still be valid latin1?
      • 2005-07-01 18206, 2005

      • ruaok
        and it has to be converted to unicode, since the metadata is unicode and all strings internally are either unicode or utf8
      • 2005-07-01 18211, 2005

      • ruaok
        picard/litp resp.
      • 2005-07-01 18227, 2005

      • ruaok
        garbled, but valid latin1.
      • 2005-07-01 18231, 2005

      • ruaok
        yes.
      • 2005-07-01 18232, 2005

      • nikki_
        yeah
      • 2005-07-01 18259, 2005

      • ruaok
        but does even a wrongly encoded latin1 string have no conversion errors while converting to utf-8?
      • 2005-07-01 18226, 2005

      • ruaok
        or better example: the user set picard to use latin1.
      • 2005-07-01 18237, 2005

      • ruaok
        and there is a utf-8 encoded filename.
      • 2005-07-01 18244, 2005

      • ruaok
        *that* won't convert.
      • 2005-07-01 18204, 2005

      • ruaok
        the point is that there will be files that don't match the right encoding.
      • 2005-07-01 18222, 2005

      • ruaok
        and if there is ONE SINGLE encoding error while going to UTF-8, libtp will never be able to find the right file.
      • 2005-07-01 18238, 2005

      • ruaok
        so, as it stands right now picard cannot do ANYTHING with files that have the wrong encoding.
      • 2005-07-01 18251, 2005

      • nikki_
        I see...
      • 2005-07-01 18202, 2005

      • ruaok
        that needs to improve, but hopefully not derailing me for days on end.
      • 2005-07-01 18211, 2005

      • ruaok
        what' the best way out?
      • 2005-07-01 18220, 2005

      • ruaok
        <thinking out loud>
      • 2005-07-01 18228, 2005

      • ruaok
        1. offer to rename the file to something safe.
      • 2005-07-01 18240, 2005

      • ruaok
        2. give the user the option to select a new encoding.
      • 2005-07-01 18253, 2005

      • ruaok
        3. do the most commong encoding guesses and if still no good conversion, give up.
      • 2005-07-01 18218, 2005

      • ruaok
        The user should still be able to manually switch the encoding to the right thing for that given track.
      • 2005-07-01 18233, 2005

      • ruaok
        load that track and then change encoding back and save.
      • 2005-07-01 18240, 2005

      • ruaok
        </thinking out loud>
      • 2005-07-01 18247, 2005

      • ruaok
        (with illegal xml tags)
      • 2005-07-01 18255, 2005

      • ruaok
        ha!
      • 2005-07-01 18215, 2005

      • ruaok
        I found a clever solution.
      • 2005-07-01 18238, 2005

      • ruaok
        nikki_: if the UTF-8 conversion fails, I'll try latin1.
      • 2005-07-01 18252, 2005

      • ruaok
        then when picard gets the filename from the OS, it checks to make sure it can access the file
      • 2005-07-01 18202, 2005

      • ruaok
        (this tests to see if the conversion worked right)
      • 2005-07-01 18212, 2005

      • ruaok
        if not, the track is shown in light red and not accessible.
      • 2005-07-01 18223, 2005

      • ruaok
        switch to the right encoding, refresh the path and it shows up cleanly.
      • 2005-07-01 18232, 2005

      • ruaok is happy with that
      • 2005-07-01 18240, 2005

      • ruaok prepares to check code in
      • 2005-07-01 18218, 2005

      • ruaok
        nikki_: update from cvs if you want the latest.
      • 2005-07-01 18230, 2005

      • ruaok
        filename encodings are getting a lot more stable now.
      • 2005-07-01 18244, 2005

      • ruaok
        libtp, libtp-python and picard
      • 2005-07-01 18206, 2005

      • ruaok
        when you get a chance, can you get me more info on those two bugs you have?

      • 2005-07-01 18244, 2005

      • ruaok
        'tis ok. I'm only playing. :-)
      • 2005-07-01 18238, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        still squashing the little buggies?
      • 2005-07-01 18223, 2005

      • ruaok
        ever more. :)
      • 2005-07-01 18233, 2005

      • ruaok
        though I have about 7 bugs left to go.
      • 2005-07-01 18238, 2005

      • ruaok
        and they are all reasonably sized.
      • 2005-07-01 18245, 2005

      • ruaok
        this picard release will kick ass. :-)
      • 2005-07-01 18259, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        i'm sure it will!
      • 2005-07-01 18217, 2005

      • ruaok
        no as much as the lucene enabled picard, but for picard its a great leap
      • 2005-07-01 18230, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        must be getting really hot now in .ca ?
      • 2005-07-01 18207, 2005

      • ruaok
        make that 6 bugs. :-)
      • 2005-07-01 18215, 2005

      • ruaok
        actually its staying remarkably cool.
      • 2005-07-01 18235, 2005

      • ruaok
        then again, during the hot parts I'm in my air conditioned office.
      • 2005-07-01 18243, 2005

      • ruaok
        and then I ride my scooter with lots of air.

        heheh.
      • 2005-07-01 18247, 2005

      • ruaok
        then again, 32C is not really hot for us.
      • 2005-07-01 18216, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        it is for us :-)
      • 2005-07-01 18250, 2005

        but i dont complain, the river aare was 21�, which is really nice to take a swim
      • 2005-07-01 18257, 2005

      • ruaok
        usually this time of year we have that daily.
      • 2005-07-01 18204, 2005

      • ruaok
        ohhh.
      • 2005-07-01 18210, 2005

      • ruaok
        rivers, what are those?
      • 2005-07-01 18219, 2005

      • ruaok
        then again, we have an ocean to swim in.
      • 2005-07-01 18232, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        perfect for me, and even more after a hard working day :)

      • g0llum|school
        5 bugs left, you're fast :)
      • 2005-07-01 18222, 2005

      • ruaok
        one was fixed, the other was not a bug afterall.
      • 2005-07-01 18230, 2005

      • ruaok
        the other ones will be more work.
      • 2005-07-01 18235, 2005

      • ruaok
        maybe I'll fix those tomorrow.
      • 2005-07-01 18256, 2005

      • ruaok
        and then start the bug fixing on windows specific things.
      • 2005-07-01 18219, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        i'll have to retag my files once it is ready :)
      • 2005-07-01 18247, 2005

      • g0llum|school
        but i've found out that i mistagged some, there the TRM will prove useful still
      • 2005-07-01 18228, 2005

      • ruaok nods
      • 2005-07-01 18216, 2005

      • 2005-07-01 18226, 2005

      • 2005-07-01 18225, 2005

        to you. Look at it like the people changing the case on Japanese stuff because they're not familiar with it, it's ugly to them too but if you know the artists changing it seems really, really bad
