| Summary | 0001193: problems with non-english or rare characters | ||||
| Description | I've been trying to run Ardour on my mac os X machine for quite some time and it wouldn't launch. I found out it was because it was located inside a folder (or path) containing characters that mac os X allows into paths but that many apps don't recognize - non-english characters, é è à ( ) [ ] / - and others like that. fortunately i ran it from the command prompt and saw what the error was but the avergae OS X user will not know about it, it would be a great idea to mention it on the mac os x page | ||||

While the characters [ and ] seem to be handled correctly now, I believe that adding a slash still screws with things because of its meaning in as far as directory structure. Confirmed still an issue in 2.7 native on OS X 10.4 Probably best just to search for unknown characters and inform the user that they need to not use those characters in my opinion, but I am not in charge of such decisions.

Updating to reflect 2.7 that I tested it in, I don't think it has changed. Though to be honest I am not sure thinking about it that a slash should matter, that always means a directory, and I am not sure that it should be handled differently in Ardour. |

this is now fixed in SVN and will be present in the upcoming 2.8.1 release. |

I tried revision 5328: Right after compilation, the first attempt to create a new session "test123 / äöü" failed (something like unable to open directory), but that was not reproducible. Then everything else went fine, i.e., no failures any more. Just one issue: When creating a snapshot with weired characters, only the simplified name appears in the snapshot list. It would be great to have the weired names there (otherwise it is not much better then forbidding those weired names). Also in the "open recent" dialog only the simplified names are shown. The ".ardour2/recent" file contains the correct names. In the session files the correct names are stored. |
