[Bug 213365] New: Amarok can't handle folder names with accent

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213365

           Summary: Amarok can't handle folder names with accent
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.2-GIT
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist@...
        ReportedBy: fragabr@...


Version:           2.2-GIT (using 4.3.74 (KDE 4.3.74 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091102)),
compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31

It seems that Amarok can't handle a folder with a accent char. For example:

house_of_the_molé (notice the "é"). Amarok scanner will skip this folder.

Or am I wrong? Thanks.

This report could be a dupe, or it could be regression from recent changes.

To be sure, I'm CC'ing Jeff, who has the most knowledge about scanning.

So, does it mean it works for you or not? Thanks.

Long version:

Jeff created a directory with one character in its filename copied exactly from
your example. There were no problems with scanning it.

I thought Mark Kretschmann had changed to WORKSFORME... That's why I asked.
Anyway, if you say it works, who am I to deny it... Let's leave it that way...

Well, the scanner uses UTF-8, other than when it tries to do some smart
detection that I may or may not end up disabling. So there's no reason it
shouldn't handle accented characters, and I've scanned lots of directories with
accented, Cyrillic, Korean, Kanji, and so on without a problem.

However, as Mark said, I took the accented character copied and pasted from
your OP, renamed one of my directories inside my collection to contain it, and
kicked off a scan -- and it was scanned with no problems.

So, if you're having an issue, you should probably give *a lot* more detail as
to what exactly is going on, because it's nothing inherent with the scanner
handling accented characters.

The detail I can give is the following:

1) the folder name is:

/usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_molé <--- notice the "é"

2) but in the log, I see:

(2433,-1,'./usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_mole/01-ministry-no_w-fnt.mp3',239,'amarok-sqltrackuid://aa9a3b5e5d9583643
09492e2ca9da041')

Notice that the "é" was transformed in "e" (without accent).

And in Amarok I can't see this entry. But if I rename the folder and change the
"é" to "e", it will appear... so something is wrong here.

Hey,

Go to that folder on the command line and run "amarokcollectionscanner ." Let
me know if the output contains e with the accent or not. This may be the
charset detector striking again, which will give me more ammo to remove it...

The output contains nothing ;) Just the "xml" line without the folder name:

fraga@tux /usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_molé$
amarokcollectionscanner .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><scanner></scanner>
fraga@tux /usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_molé$

But if I remove the accent, then it works:

fraga@tux /usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_mole$
amarokcollectionscanner .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><scanner><folder
path="/usr/local/src/mp3/ministry/houses_of_the_mole/"/>

What distro are you on? Are you sure you have correct i18n support in the
distro (i.e. your LANG is set to some UTF-8 locale, and so on?)

That's right! It was a misconfiguration. Sorry about that and thank you very
much!
