Hi,
I had a discussion with another developer regarding gtk filechooser. In the documentation for the filechooser you can read this: "When the user is finished selecting files in a GtkFileChooser, your program can get the selected names either as filenames or as URIs. For URIs, the normal escaping rules are applied if the URI contains non-ASCII characters. However, filenames are always returned in the character set specified by the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable. Please see the GLib documentation for more details about this variable." I think this means that it doesn't mean whether you get the filenames as an URI or as plain filenames, they will always be in the encoding used on the disk. But the other developer disagrees, and thinks it only applies to plain filenames, and URIs are always returned in UTF-8. Which is correct? It doesn't make sense to me that URIs would be returned in UTF-8, because you would have no means to find out the true filename on disk? And another question, the documentation says that gtk_file_chooser_get_files () is an internal function. Does this mean you're not allowed to use it in an application? -- /Kristoffer Brånemyr _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
