Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem: MonoDevelop doesn't seem to support accent in
filename when importing file.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In my case I took a Vs.NET 2005 project that I tranfert to the VMWare image
2. Open MonoDevelop, start a new lib project 
3. Using context-menu over the project Click AddFiles...
4. Choose a file whit an accent like Aéroport.cs
5. Boom it say a pretty error. Remove the accent and I work

Actual Results:
An error

Expected Results:
Importation

How often does this happen? 
Always!

What error do you get? I cannot reproduce it.

I just retested it and I got the same bug

probably the filename charset encoding isn't the same as your
environment's charset encoding so it doesn't know how to convert the
filename into UTF-8

<jeff_> looks like the strings returned by
gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames() might not be valid utf8?
<lewing> jeff_: you need to read the filename docs
<jeff_> where can I find those?
* vgeddes (~vgeddes@dsl-245-174-39.telkomadsl.co.za) has left #gtk+
<jeff_> lewing: does f-spot deal with a similar problem?
<lewing>
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html#g-filename-display-name
<lewing> jeff_: fortunately image file names are fairly basic most of
the time
<jeff_> yea, I figured...
<jeff_> this looks to actually be a problem with gtk-sharp tho
<jeff_> :(
<lewing> jeff_: I've talked to mkestner about the issue, I don't know
if he has any plans to fix it
<jeff_> ok
<lewing> it is


I'm going to reassign this to gtk-sharp, although I don't really see
how mike can truly fix this in any sort of general way. While he
/could/ use the g_filename_display_*() variants to convert to UTF-8,
but then the consumer code wouldn't necessarily be able to get the
actual physical filename (e.g. if the filename was not in UTF-8 to
begin with... or at the very least, not in the env encoding)

not sure what can really be done here.

I think the issue lewing had identified is different from this.  The
filename encoding stuff should be working as it's supposed to in Gtk#.
That has been fixed for a long time now.  We convert the filename
encoding returned by Gtk+ to utf8 using glib transformation methods,
so if there is an issue, it is probably with the environment or the
glib code.

I'm going to need a lot better description of how to reproduce the
problem or a sample to reproduce it.

Reassigning to MonoDevelop since from talking to jeff, the issue seems
to be related to roundtripping and not the value that is coming from Gtk#.



---- Additional Comments From fejj@novell.com 2007-05-24 11:29:54 MST ----

well, it's kinda both :)

but it also sounds like recent versions of gtk# call
g_filename_to_utf8() on the filenames returned from
gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames(), so this particular exception likely
no longer happens.

As mike was referring to, the problem /now/ will be that we will have
a filename String which, when used, will be used as a utf8 string to
the filesystem... which it is not.

simplest solution? only allow filenames in utf8.

trying to support non-utf8 filenames is a huge pain, because they
don't even necessarily have to be in the locale charset... so
converting a String back to the original encoding is impossible.

what will eventually need to be done is to have gtk#'s filechooser
give us back something like:

struct {
   string filename;
   byte[] fsname;
}


but then every gtk# app would have to be fixed to use that instead of
the current interface... (even most c-based gtk apps likely have this
problem because most apps expect filenames in utf8 and probably break
when they aren't)
