utf-8

Bugzilla from michel.pottier@free.fr
Hello
  I am migrating to mandriva 2007. The locale are in utf8 and when I run
digikam, it proposes me to remove all the album which have french
characters (with accent). is there a solution to not loose the album?
Thanks

"There are 46 albums in the database which do not appear to be on disk.
These albums should be removed from the database, however you may lose
information because all images associated with these albums will be
removed from the database as well.
digiKam cannot continue without removing the items from the database
because all views depend on the information in the database. Do you want
them to be removed from the database?"

You could try at the shell prompt:
  export LANG=fr.UTF-8
  digikam

Best, Arnd

Hello Arnd
And thank you for your answer.
My system was configured with UTF-8
cat i18n
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8
..

In fact the solution is, for me, to rewrite the name of the files
(rewriting the same accent) using konqueror (impossible to do that from
the prompt).
Now all is OK.
Thank you again
Michel

Thanks to the digikam team!

Thanks Michel.

Fabien,

Since all major linux dist. will toogle to UTF8, I think than the content of
this thread must be added on FAQ.

Also, I think than the number of photo managed by digiKam can be the subject
of the next Pool on Web site...

Yes, I agree.
I did some tests about that. There are some tools to rename files with
the new encoding...
With ubuntu, there's a migration tool named utf8-migration-tool (written
in python) to do the job :
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/misc/utf8-migration-tool

There's also convmv (written in perl) :
http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/

Could people using other distributions check if there's some migration
tool like that ?

There was already a poll for that :
http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/60/results
:)

For mandriva 2007, it seems that the same convmv can be applied.
Mandriva provide also a script at the address:
http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MandrivaLinux2007Errata#UTF8_issue_when_reinstalling_and
(and there is a french page to explain how to convert the filename ant the
content of the file:
http://sebdeblinux.free.fr/)

Thanks fo these links Michel.

Fabien UTF-8 migration is very important. We need to write in web site and
source code package a notice about to do it. Please let's me hear when you
will add explanations on web site, i will include this content on source code
tarball.

Yes, I'll do that soon. Can some people using Suse or Fedora Core check
  what tools are available in their distribution for utf-8 migration ?

Fabien,
I have Suse 10.1 and just used convmv yesterday, I'm sure it came preinstalled
and it is definitely available in the base distro.
