[11.02RC4] Colour assignment only works partially

---

 
In TC 11.02RC4 x64, x86 I found the following:

Content of Template for 'Change attributes' was removed:
File provided with TC comment "✓".
Only the title of the original is left.

Button with command: OPENATTRIBUTES=NameOfTemplate_Change attributes does not work anymore.
; OPENATTRIBUTES=Comment-OKii_for_FilesFolders

Excerpts of HISTORY.TXT
German Umlauts (ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü) and special character: ß (!)

Where is the bug? when you delete or rename the saved search, it will not work any longer. Isn't that expected? How should TC know what was there?

[tuska]

wincmd.ini - section [attrplugin] currently shows the following:

Code: Select all

Kommentar_OK_f r_Dateien-Ordner=tc.comment := OK	; German umlaut "ü" missing: für -> BUG! --- The button works anyway ...
							; Button: OPENATTRIBUTES=Kommentar_OK_f r_Dateien-Ordner ... WORKS!

Comment-OK_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := OK		; OK
Comment-DEL_for_Files&Folders=tc.comment := ""		; OK

Comment-OKii_for_FilesFolders=?tc.comment := ?		; there should be a tick here: ✓  (Unicode)
							; Button: OPENATTRIBUTES=Comment-OKii_for_FilesFolders ... BUG!

What reason could I have had for renaming it?
Since the last bug fix on 6.10.2023 I no longer had any need for action.

Comment-OKii_for_FilesFolders=?tc.comment := ? ; there should be a tick here: ✓ (Unicode)
; Button: OPENATTRIBUTES=Comment-OKii_for_FilesFolders ... BUG!

What is this question mark doing here?

I can confirm that if I put a question mark in such a place, the saved template disappear and only the title remain.
So i don't put such a sign.

P.S. probably another side effect of unproper ini file conversion.

[tuska]

I have now noticed the following:
My wincmd.ini from 7.10.2023 (backup) had coding "ANSI".

These files also had the coding "ANSI" at that time:
wincmd_Rename.ini
wincmd_Searches.ini
wincmd_Searches_Templates.ini

It is inexplicable to me how the file "wincmd.ini" was recoded to "UTF-8".
With the other three files, I can no longer determine the encoding at the time of the bug report,
because I have encoded all .ini files to "ANSI".

However, this caused the errors with the German umlauts, file attributes and missing plugins.

Conclusion:
After using the backup file "wincmd.ini" from 7.10.2023 everything works fine again.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
This is SOLVED.

Moved to English forum.

The wincmd.ini usually contains a line
SetEncoding=äö.do.not.remove
in ANSI (may look different in your language script) which is clearly NOT UTF-8, so notepad will not save the file as UTF-8 when it sees that line. I don't know how you managed to save the file as UTF-8, it shouldn't happen when you just save the file.

I don't know how you managed to save the file as UTF-8, ...

Unfortunately, I can no longer remember when I might have made such a saving.
To be on the safe side, I have now changed the default encoding in my text editors accordingly.
