Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: videoporama
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu.
~> lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
~> apt-cache policy videoporama
videoporama:
Installed: 0.8.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.8.0-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
0.7.6-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
3) What you expected to happen
Videoporama successfully opens and saves project files that contain non-
ASCII characters such as á, ¡, and ñ as part of the file name or
directory path.
4) What happened instead
Videoporama silently fails to open or save the file if the file name or
directory path contains non-ASCII characters. Here are some examples of
failing file names and directory paths:
/home/user/dir_a/file_á.idv
/home/user/dir_á/file_a.idv
/home/user/dir_á/file_á.idv
There is an exception: Videoporama will save a project file that
contains non-ASCII characters if the ".idv" extension is left off the
file name. Videoporama automatically adds the .idv extension when it
saves the file. However, it will not reopen the file unless the file is
renamed to remove all non-ASCII characters.
Note: I installed the Videoporama 0.8.0 package from Ubuntu Maverick
while debugging the problem described in bug #629930. I also tried
installing the latest version directly from the Videoporama web site,
http://download.tuxfamily.org/videoporama/deb_pkg/videoporama_0.8.0_all.deb,
and it has the same problem described in this bug report. Apparently
since I installed a Maverick package on Lucid, apport-cli and ubuntu-bug
refused to file a bug for this package.
