Package: gthumb Version: 3:2.10.2-4 Severity: wishlist Hi.
I've found this small problem twice or thrice already, so I'm sending this suggestion. When gthumb generated photo albums it writes utf-8 encoded xhtml files, and declares them as utf-8. So when you open the album in a local browser it displays ok. But some people upload the album to an apache web server that is configured to send an http header declaring iso-8859-1 encoding for every html file it serves (for instance because they sually write their html pages in iso-8859-1). When browsing the uploaded album remotely the browser apparently gets the wrong header and renders the international characters wrong. If the server is configured to allow configuration in every content directory with .htaccess files (that is if the AllowOverride directive aplicable to the given directory includes the FileInfo keyword), then there is a simple fix which is to include an .htaccess file in the album with a singe line in its content: AddType "text/html; charset=UTF-8" html This will only solve anything in some apache configurations, but at least in my sid I see the apache2 configured with AllowOverride FileInfo for user directories (in fact it might not show this problems because the default encodign is already UTF-8, but one may change it either in httpd.conf or in a upper level .htaccess in a user dir or whatever). At least I don't think this has any chance of breaking anything, so I suggest adding this .htaccess file in every album theme in gthumb, so that it gets automatically copied to the generated photo albums and they work ok when uploaded to some apache servers. I did it in my computer with for d in /usr/share/gthumb/albumthemes/* ; do cp .htaccess $d ; done as root. Maybe the .htaccess file and some similar configuration could be added to some gthumb post-inst script ? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-486 Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gthumb depends on: ii gconf2 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.18.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.18.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libexif12 0.6.16-1 library to parse EXIF files ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.1-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1+b1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.8.1-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.18.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-3 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.18.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.18.1-3+b1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgphoto2-2 2.3.1-5+b1 gphoto2 digital camera library ii libgphoto2-port0 2.3.1-5+b1 gphoto2 digital camera port librar ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-7 userspace USB programming library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.29.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-13 A free electronic cataloging syste ii shared-mime-info 0.21-2 FreeDesktop.org shared MIME databa ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime gthumb recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
