keepnote - issue #292

View Image doesn't work with special characters in path


Posted on Jun 23, 2010 by Massive Monkey

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. name a note with special character (eg. TestNote_ü ) 2. insert an image 3. try to open it with double click - or context menu: "view image..."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The picture should be opened with default browser. But instead there is a failure message displayed - due to the special character in the name of the note.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? keepnote 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

additional hint: commands like "view note in text editor..." or "view note in web browser..." are working fine (even with special characters like äüö...) --> so there must be a difference in handling this commands...?

What do you have set as the image viewer in "Edit > Preferences > Helper Applications"?

A link to irfanview: F:\Progs_Graphic\Irfanview\i_view32_irfanview.exe ...but even with just: mspaint.exe in it - it won't work...

this is the error-message (hint to character-handling?):

F:\EigeneDateien\Sammel\KeepNote\test\test_ü\image.png enthält eine ungültige Pfadangabe.

--> <...> contains an invalid path.

I think I have found the problem. I have updated KeepNote 0.6.3 in place: http://rasm.ods.org/keepnote/download-test/

Can you test the latest version? Thanks.
