Description khiraly 2005-12-13 20:29:09 UTC 
When I add my camera, and click on the import images from camera (File menu), I
have the following error message:

(gthumb:6848): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set label from markup due to error
parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 9: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text

fix utf8 usage for text from other libraries

This error message is caused by libgphoto sending its text string usings locale encoding instead of UTF-8, which is problematic when locale encoding is not UTF-8.

The attached patch fixes the issue (I've just put it in Mandriva cooker package).

This patch also fixes the same issue with libexif (this is only valid for libexif >= 0.5.9, older release still requires the conversion).

patch applied, thanks.
Comment 3 Frederic Crozat 2006-01-05 12:13:12 UTC 
FYI, the issue is libgphoto has just been fixed so next release of libgphoto will allow to request strings to be always encoded in utf8

See bug https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108874&aid=1396053&group_id=8874 for more information about it.
