Hi! A short while ago, I submitted Bug 569460 – Unescape special charcters in filenames when doing (Flickr, Picasa Web, Zip, ...) export. I now had a look at the source at ZipExport.cs, as that's the shortest export source. And as all the exporters show the same problem, I thought that one might be as good as another one...
In the ZipExport.cs of f-spot 0.5.0.3, I think that the method zip() is the interesting one. In there, I'd guess that the line 126 ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry (photos [i].Name); is interesting. Here, the name of the ZipEntry is taken to be the Name of the photo. I haven't checked, but I suppose that this Name string contains the escaped version of the filename, doesn't it? Ie., if the filename is [2008-11-12--10.40.37] (IMG_0017) Cédric, Photoshooting, Petra, Fotograf.jpg then Name would be %5B2008-11-12--10.40.37%5D%20(IMG_0017)%20C%C3%A9dric%2C%20Photoshooting%2C%20Petra%2C%20Fotograf.jpg Correct? I've got no knowledge at all about C#, but I think that what would be required here is, that instead of photos[i].Name, the unescaped version of the name is to be used. In C#, is there a method which allows to easily unescape a string? Ie. something, which translates stuff like "C%C3%A9dric" to "Cédric"? I guess that something like this already needs to be used in f-spot, in order for f-spot to decode a file uri to a path, as only a file uri (ie. file:///home/askwar/.......) is stored in the f-spot database. I "browsed" the f-spot source, but haven't found the spot, where f-spot tries to load a file from disk. I guess that's where f-spot would do a decoding of the string stored in the database to get the proper path name. The reason why I bring that topic also here to the mailinglist is, that this bug makes f-spot pretty much useless for me, as it's certainly nice to be able to manage pictures locally - but from time to time, an export to some public site, like Flickr, PicasaWeb or whatever, would be good as well. And with picturenames like "%5B2008-11-12--10.40.37%5D%20(IMG_0017)%20C%C3%A9dric%2C%20Photoshooting%2C%20Petra%2C%20Fotograf.jpg" that looks very bad. I'd be very happy if one of you could give me a hand :) Thanks a lot, Alexander -- [ Soc. => http://twitter.com/alexs77 | http://www.plurk.com/alexs77 ] [ Mehr => http://zyb.com/alexws77 ] [ Chat => Jabber: alexw...@jabber80.com | Google Talk: a.sk...@gmail.com ] [ Mehr => MSN: alexw...@live.de | Yahoo!: askwar | ICQ: 350677419 ] _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list F-spot-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
