Comment 11 for bug 429911

I have no python skills, but your instructions were good and easy to carry out :-)

This is the result of the print statement when I have entered just "notepad.exe" in the editor field:
'command is notepad.exe'
If I leave the editor field empty, you apparently try to resolve the path to wordpad.exe:
'command is C:/Programmer/Windows NT/Tilbeh°r/WORDPAD.EXE'

On my danish Windows XP this path contains a danish character (Accessories translates to Tilbehør in danish).
May I suggest that you do not try to resolve the path, but only default to the name of the editor. I also think that "notepad.exe" is a better choice, because I figure that the editor is only used for short messages like changes description, version info and the like.

I hope this helps.

Emne: [Bug 429911] Re: BZR > Explorer > UnicodeDecodeError

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this ASAP. If appropriate, I'd
like it resolved by or fixed in 0.8.2.

How are your Python skills? Can you add a print statement to
split_command_options() in lib\explorer.py showing the value of command?
You'll want something like this ...

    print "command is %s" % command

Note that the print statement should occur just before
shlex_split_unicode() is called and be indented exactly 4 spaces like
the rest of the statements in that function.
