GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 113979
Non UTF-8 locales should be supported
Last modified: 2006-08-28 08:17:00 UTC
In Czech there are often used GNU-Czech localisations of PalmOS 3/4, which are not working in UTF-8, but use ISO-8859-2 or Windows-1250. It should be nice to have support for these localisations inside gnome-pilot, otherwise exported data are not readable there.
At long last, pilot-link 0.12.0 has been released. With 0.12.0 it should be possible to set the environment variable PILOT_CHARSET to the ISO-8859-2 and then restart gpilotd. Now that this functionality is available in the pilot-link library we may add gui support for selecting the charset in gnome-pilot, but the workaround should work out of the box. Note: gnome-pilot 2.0.14 will support pilot-link 0.12.0. The current gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits CVS has been ported, but the evolution team have yet to update their conduits (shouldn't take long, a patch is being reviewed)
