Package: libwxgtk2.5.3
Version: 2.5.3.2
Severity: important
Hi,
in wxDir::Read() line 139:
de_d_name = wxConvLibc.cMB2WC( de->d_name );
wxConvLibc.cMB2WC returns an empty string for a filename with
german umlaut characters like '�ber.txt'.
This has a few bad implications:
if called with flag wxDIR_DIRS it falsely identifies files as directories
and returns an empty string. this leads (for example) to a weird tree structure
with wxDirDialog containing empty items you can expand ad nauseam, like
- "/rootdir"
+ ""
- ""
- ""
- ""
+ "" # <- expandable, infinitely
+ "foo"
+ "foo"
+ "foo"
Where the real directory just contains a single dir called "foo"
and the expected directory tree would be something like:
- "/rootdir"
+ "foo"
I think this has also an impact on wxDir::Traverse which then
runs into an endless loop supplying the same dir over and over again.
(this may as well be another problem, I haven't debugged that, yet)
Additionally, it takes about 12 seconds to start up a wxDirDialog on
my Intel PII 400MHz. Is that normal?
I suggest, as a workaround, that when the conversion of de->d_name fails
(i.e. wxConvLibc.cMB2WC( ) returns "\0") that de_d_name should be set
to de->d_name (without conversion) directly. Better having some weird
looking character in the control than having these infinitely expandable
empty items.
