Unicode button is copied incorrectly

[Flint]

1. Create a buttonbar button that uses Unicode characters somewhere in the path or tooltip.
2. Copy the code of the button to the clipboard (using the right-click menu).
3. Paste the copy of the button to the toolbar.
4. The Unicode characters are pasted as question signs.

I looked into the clipboard contents using CLCL, and saw that the Unicode characters are copied as questions, so the clipboard already contains wrong data.

Indeed this function doesn't currently support Unicode at all. I will consider it if it's not too much work.

Sorry, I have to dig out this old report again. Actually TC does support copying of Unicode buttons - the Unicode text is encoded as UTF-8 with BOM. I tried this with Chinese, Russian and Korean text on a Swiss German Windows. I also tried it with Russian locale.

Can you give me an example where it doesn't work, please?

I have a child toolbar that contains buttons for starting different versions of TC. Extract from it for one of the buttons:

Code: Select all

button11=C:\Program Files\TotalCmd\TOTALCMD64-800β10.exe
cmd11=C:\Program Files\TotalCmd\TOTALCMD64-800β10.exe
iconic11=0
menu11=TotalCmd x64 8.00β10

The BAR file is stored in UTF-16LE with BOM.

I open this bar, right-click the button quoted above, select Copy. In the clipboard the following text appears:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
C:\Program Files\TotalCmd\TOTALCMD64-800?10.exe

C:\Program Files\TotalCmd\TOTALCMD64-800?10.exe
TotalCmd x64 8.00?10

0
-1

So, instead of Greek "betas" I get question signs.

Windows 7 x64 SP1, Russian locale; TC 8.0β12 x32 and x64.

The BAR file is stored in UTF-16LE with BOM.

Ah, I guess that this is the problem.

I see. Indeed, seems to be so. I have now tested with ANSI BAR file and Unicode characters are copied correctly (each line containing Unicode character has UTF-8 BOM signature in the beginning).

[ghisler(Author)]

OK - currently UTF-16 isn't supported for .bar files. Maybe in a future release.

[Flint]

Confirm fixed in 8.0β14.

Thanks!
