Binary package hint: exaile

When running exaile for the first time, i added my music folder (from a USB hard-drive). While the music folder was scanned I at the same time was playing around with the equalizer settings, when exaile crashed.
I'm using the recently released Jaunty beta.

Found the reason: I have songs with Swedish characters in both path-/file-names and in their id3-tags. The UTF-8 handling in Python apparently didn't like that, unless I run exaile with Swedish locale.

So running exaile with LC_ALL="sv_SE.UTF-8" works.

However, I still think it should not crash.

Thnak you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Can you tell us under what locale you were before finding this bypass?

You can run 'locale' on a terminal to find it. Thank you.

The Exaile 0.3.x series is a complete rewrite. Ubuntu 9.10 released with version 0.3.0.1, and the current development version of Ubuntu Lucid includes Exaile 0.3.1.0. I can not reproduce this issue, and it has most likely been fixed upstream. Has anyone experienced this issue with Exaile > 0.3.0.1?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better!

Thank you for the bug report. It has not been updated after a request for more information in the last 30 days, for this reason we are closing the report. Feel free to reopen it in the future if you have more information and if this is still an issue.
