Bug Description

See subject.
RedNotebook 1.1.2, Windows XP RUS.

It seems to me that the trouble s hidden in some troubles concerning character encodings.
The default charset for Russian Windows is CP1251, while the charset used by rednotebook, I'm absolutely sure, is UTF-8.
The funny thing is, Cyrillic characters have the same charcodes as UTF-8 control symbols. Perhaps that is the reason, since there *are* Russian characters to be inserted into the config by default, thanks to my translation. Thus, they are transcoded into some garbage which even I cannot read.

The rest of the program works fine so far.

The current configuration.cfg is attached to this bug report.

Also adding rednotebook.log

Hm, no, even these garbled words do not seem to be the reason.
I've removed them, but that didn't help.

For the moment a workaround could be to delete the entries for the blacklist and whitelist from the config file and not add them back in the config window.

e.g. the entries should look like:

cloudIgnoreList=
cloudIncludeList=

Does this work for you?

No.

Attaching the log and the configuration file of a freshly installed program. Opened, clicked on Preferences, closed.

Thanks for the logs! I have hopefully fixed this issue by making sure everything is unicode inside the application. You can find a new installer here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4780737/rednotebook-1.1.3-b2-win32.exe

Please tell me if it resolves the issue.
