Jokosher cannot open project with non-English name

[yippi]

How to reproduce:
1. Login with non-English locale, such as zh_CN.UTF-8
2. Startup jokosher. Create a new project and set the project name as Chinese
characters
3. Save the project
4. Open the project in jokosher

You will see a pop up error window as below:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The project file could not be opened.

It is recommended that you report this to the Jokosher developers or get help

I can confirm this. Using locale pt_br

[Peterson Silva (petersonsilva)]

I tested it with english locale and I noticed it has nothing to do with locale, it has to do with a gstreamer error. While it doesn't appear, it's fine, I can save and load the project. However, when I'm playing the timeline there's this yellow warning box inside the window that tells me there is a gstreamer error. After that, no luck loading the project file.

I can confirm that gstreamer error. I continuously dismiss that error since everything seems to play fine.

I forgot to ask: did somebody find out a workaround? I really want to open my project again.

[Laszlo Pandy (laszlok)]

Can anyone who can reproduce this send me the file names they used for the project and the audio files in it?
I can't reproduce this even when using the chinese character mentioned in the traceback: 测 (\u6d4b).

If someone could send me the .jokosher file which fails to load that would be even better.

Reproduce step:
1. login as zh-CN.UTF-8,
2. create a new project, name as "哈哈“
3. add an audio file, such as shutdown.wav.
4. save and close.

5. start josher again to open "哈哈", failed.

[avazhang (ava-zhang)]

1. Chinese character Project name, add an English name audio file, such as /usr/share/sounds/email.wav
    Can reproduce this bug

2. Chinese character Project name, no audio file in the project (Empty project)
    Can not reproduce this bug

3. English character Project name, add an Chinese name audio file, such as 邮件.wav
    Can reproduce this bug

I tested it on OpenSolaris131, zh_CN.UTF-8 locale

Thanks jerry and avazhang for you help. I figured it out and fixed in my branch (linked to this bug). It will be released in 0.11.4 sometime in the next month I hope. Until then please make use of my branch.
