------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 7 00:58:21 +0000 2007 ------- I've found the source of the bug. It is not related to the file system, but to the currency settings of the machine! First, I've noticed that when running /Applications/OpenOffice.org\ 2.1.app/Contents/MacOS/program/soffice blah_*.odt where my filename is blah_é.odt, I get the following error message: I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "" I don't know why OpenOffice hides this message when it is run via "open" or from the Finder, but well... Then I've looked at what happens with "ktrace -di". 12182 soffice.bin CALL getattrlist(0xf0100690,0xf00fe9e0,0xf00fe690,0x334,0x4) 12182 soffice.bin NAMI "/Users/vinc17/blah_e<C3><8C><C2><81>.odt" 12182 soffice.bin RET getattrlist -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 12182 soffice.bin CALL access(0x5afaa6c,0) 12182 soffice.bin NAMI "/Users/vinc17/blah_e<C3><8C><C2><81>.odt" 12182 soffice.bin RET access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory Summary: OpenOffice thinks that the filename is written in ISO-8859-1 and converts the byte sequence into UTF-8. This is wrong, since the filename is already in UTF-8 (the encoding used by HFS+). Now, why does OpenOffice think the filename is in ISO-8859-1? I don't know, but this is related to the above error message. A search for this message in the dump gives: 12182 soffice.bin NAMI "/usr/share/locale/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LC_COLLATE" 12182 soffice.bin RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 12182 soffice.bin CALL write(0x2,0xf01013a0,0x31) 12182 soffice.bin GIO fd 2 wrote 49 bytes "I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "" " though the locale command gives: prunille:~> locale LANG="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_ALL="POSIX/en_US.UTF-8/POSIX/POSIX/POSIX/POSIX" OpenOffice then tries: 12182 soffice.bin NAMI "/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_COLLATE" but I think it is already confused. In my System Preferences (International), I've changed the Euro currency into the "British Pound Sterling", and now I no longer get the error message and the file blah_é.odt can be opened. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
