[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22519] Save game function unable to cope with special characters (e.g. umlauts)
URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?22519 Summary: Save game function unable to cope with special characters (e.g. umlauts) Project: Freeciv Submitted by: matthiasbasler Submitted on: Mo 25 Aug 2014 17:02:17 UTC Category: client-gtk-2.0 Severity: 4 - Important Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.4.3 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: Microsoft Windows Planned Release: ___ Details: Whenever I try to save a game with special characters in them, such as Umlauts (ä,ö,ü) or question mark, the game will quietly not be saved. Instead Freeciv seems to continue normally, but at the end of the round (when pressing Done!) the game crashes. After a restart the saved game is not in the list for loading. This is 100% reproducable for me. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22519 ___ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #14904] gtk-client city dlg production time updates to previous value
Follow-up Comment #3, bug #14904 (project freeciv): Just wanted to report this, but obviously this bug is already known: In the city window, on the Production tab, if I change the order of two different items selected for production, which results in a different item being produced *right now*, the production progress bar doesn't update. It still shows the progress for the previously ordered item. See screenshot. Sometimes is phenomenon of the production progress bar not updating also happens in other use cases, such as when clicking on Change production, but this is not reproducable. Win7 64 bit, on version 2.4.3 (already found in 2.4 beta) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?14904 ___ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22519] Save game function unable to cope with special characters (e.g. umlauts)
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #22519 (project freeciv): I save the game using the Game menu. (I wasn't even aware of the the other options.) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22519 ___ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22519] Save game function unable to cope with special characters (e.g. umlauts)
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #22519 (project freeciv): First let me apologize. I did the bug report out of my mind after having the problem specifically with question mark again. I did several tests now and have to correct me as follows: - The game does not crash, it just quits the current game and returns to the start window (with Start new game, load game etc.) - A ? or / in a savegame name causes the game to quit, and this does not necessarily happen only after pressing Done!. It just happened to me when moving a worker around after saving. - Umlauts like äöüÄÖÜ do NOT cause a crash or quit but rather cause a box like [X] in the savegame name, so this is a lower severity. Maybe the font used there cannot show these characters? Probably should be a separate issue. - Special characters !, # and work just fine. I didn't test any further special characters yet. To your question. The chat console shows: Matthias: 'save testä' resp. Matthias: 'save test?' That's all. No failure notice in the latter case. P.S. Can someone please update the issue title to reflect these test results? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22519 ___ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22519] Save game command crashes with invalid filenames
Follow-up Comment #6, bug #22519 (project freeciv): It seems that the characters :/|?* are reserved on windows, this may explain why the server crashes. Indeed they are. It didn't occur to me that what I write as savegame titles results 1:1 as filenames. Since obviously this is the case then using the above characters is a no-go under windows and should ideally be rejected by FreeCiv under windows. (Not sure if other OS's dislike such characters as well...) Alternative idea is to escape such characters and have a transparent encoding/decoding the way modern browsers handle it for URLs in the address bar. Thanks for the hint, pepeto! ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22519 ___ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
