Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.10-1
Severity: normal
I start gimp from the command line. Therefore I noticed that
selecting the file->print menu gave me a lot of error
messages on the console. They were all like this:
Gtk-Message: The filename "str\370m" couldn't be converted to UTF-8. (try
setting the environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING): Invalid byte sequence
in conversion input
It is true that I have quite a few files whose names does not conform
to UTF-8. Many of them aren't even pictures.
So gimp has no business whatsoever trying to create UTF-8 strings
for these filenames! Gimp is clearly wasting its (an my) time
as well as memory, for there were no need to look up even a
single filename. I was bringing up the print dialog for an
existing open picture, I was *not* using the "open file" dialog
or some such.
Removing this nonsense should give a faster gimp, fewer error
messages, and possibly a somewhat smaller codebase.
