http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577241 gnome-perl | Gtk2 | Ver: unspecified
Summary: Gtk2::FileChooser get_filename() returning byte string
Product: gnome-perl
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Gtk2

As noted on the mailing list a little while ago, it looks like
Gtk2::FileChooser::get_filename() should return a byte string rather than treat
it as utf8.
The prototype for gtk_file_chooser_get_filename() has gchar*, but under the
heading "Important" in the docs
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkFileChooser.html#GtkFileChooser.descriptionit's described as ready to pass to open() and not suitable to put in a
GtkLabel.
That seems to be how the code is too. In the foo.pl below clicking on the
latin-1 y-diaeresis file in the selection list gets an error
Malformed UTF-8 character (overflow at 0x40000036, byte 0x17, after start
byte 0xff) in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/Data/Dumper.pm line 190.
and some printfs show it's a raw 0xFF byte.
The only concern might be that when you enter a name in the entry box and press
return, in that case get_filename returns utf8. Presumably that's a gtk bug.
The same applies to the multi-select gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames().
