Gloobus-coverflow is incompatible with UTF-8

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

Gloobus-coverflow seems to be incompatible with UTF-8. When I try to load a cover with cyrillic filepath, it prints the path in URLincode and doesn't open it.
Here is a sample console output:

Theme path: /home/serioga/Buffer/CoverGloobus/Themes/Dirty
Theme: dirty

This was tested on version 1.4, version 1.5 doesn't print paths of files it couldn't open.
Look like I've reported it to the wrong project :-[

XD
Yes.. it is for the covergloobus project :D

To show the path of the file launch covergloobus --debug. It will show the path I think

If not, try using the BZR version

bzr branch lp:covergloobus
./autogen.sh
./configure
make && sudo make install

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Debug mode didn't work with 1.5 release, and bzr version doesn't compile (make returns something like "no rule to compile 'skin.xml', which is required for 'all-am'").

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

can you try it now?
download the bzr version

bzr branch lp:covergloobus
cd covergloobus
./autogen
./configure
make && sudo make install

and run it with --debug

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

The latest bzr version returns the same error. It occurs on 'Making all in 45Controls'. I'm trying to compile it on Ubuntu Karmic amd64 with python 2.5 and 2.6 installed. Maybe some modules are missing?

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

Sure I forgot to upload the skin.xml file to bzr... when I get home I upload it!!

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

The file was missing, try now!

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Same error, but on covergloobus/data/themes/BoxOfTricks. 45Controls and
BadChoice seem to work correctly (no commands are applied to them).

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

XDD

Added!!
Let me know if there are more missing!

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Same error in revision 95 O_o

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

Heys, totally updated and tested now!

Plase, can you try it now?

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Everything works perfectly, except for UTF-8. Here's a sample debug output:
