Saving a file with non-English letters is not saved with correct name

[grofaty]

Pinta 0.8 on Windows XP sp3.
1. Draw something.
2. Save a image, etc. <Ctrl>+S.
3. In Name field of Save Image File dialog write some non-English letters.
4. File is saved but the name is totally incorrect.

P.S. Opening such a file produces an error described in bug 684239.

I have installed Pinta 1.0 on Windows XP sp3 and problem still persists.

But incorrectly named files can now be opened (bug 684239 is fixed).

I have installed Pinta 1.1 on Windows XP sp3 and problem still persists.

I have installed Pinta 1.2 on Windows sp3 and latest development on Ubuntu 11.10 and problem still persists - naming looking into Windows Explorer revels #1 problem.

Is this a Windows-only issue for you?

So, if you save to a file in a folder with cyrrillic letters, you get Bug #779427, but if you save to a latin letter folder with a cyrrillic name, you get this bug. Worth remembering when fixing these bugs. :P

Cameron, yes it looks like a Windows specific. It appears in Pinta 1.2 on Windows XP sp3, but it doesn't appear in latest development on Ubuntu 11.10.

I know how to kill this bug and bug #779427, but I have some trouble with run compiled Pinta from git.

I copy cyrrillic name+path from the error and try to detect encoding(see attachment).
I think, changing encoding for windows from utf-8 to win-1251 solve the problem.

P.S. How to change encoding for string variable http://goo.gl/E6JaJ

I have tested Pinta v1.4 on Windows XP and problem still persists. Reproduced like in bug report. If image in Pinta is saved with non-English letters then file is not saved correctly (you can check the Windows Explorer to see incorrect file name).

Opening such a file without a problem, but file-name is corrupted (because of Pinta saving image has produced incorrect file-name).

Also tested in Pinta v1.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 and no problem. So this bug is Windows specific.

At #8, I am sceptical about setting win-1251 code page instead of utf-8. Users around the word are using different code-pages not just win-1251, so this can mean (I am guessing) some non-English letter could be written successfully and some not.

Just a note, if I remember correctly I have read somewhere in the web that Windows saves files in UTF-16 code page format (I could be wrong).

This should be fixed from https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/pull/44.

I tested pinta-1.5-preview-20130518 on Windows XP and made several tests:
1. Save English file name in English directory: SUCCESSFUL
2. Save non-English file name in English directory: SUCCESSFUL
3. Save non-English file name in non-English directory: : SUCCESSFUL
Excellent, so this bug is finally fixed. I think very important bug for non-English users!

Additional tests:
For #13 steps 1., 2. and 3. File | Open: SUCCESSFUL
Are files in Windows Explorer correctly displayed: SUCCESSFUL
Are names in Pinta's title bar correctly displayed: SUCCESSFUL

It looks everything is now working fine with non-English names. Excellent.
