Description Dmitry G. Mastrukov 2003-03-06 05:27:17 UTC 
In non-unicode locales creating new files and catalogs causes appearance of
UTF8 sequences in filenames. G_BROKEN_FILENAMES variable has no ingluence
on such behaviour.
Seems g_filename_from_uft8/uri() functions should be used before saving.

I'm about to commit code that uses g_filename_from_uft8/uri() 
internally in Glade.

But we still have the problem with generated code, mainly
with pixmap filenames. I don't know what to do here.

The pixmap files could be created using a particular locale,
but how would the application know this when it is run on
the end-user's machine?

For now, I think I'll just recommend that people stick to
ASCII filenames, especially for pixmaps.
Comment 3 Damon Chaplin 2004-09-23 19:11:23 UTC 
I'll mark this as fixed. I don't think there is anything more I can do.
