I can't exit the program properly.

[maijija117]

After I used the program, I can not exit the program properly.
Help me plz.
Your program benefits me so much.
I hope you can solve the problem.

I would try uninstalling the previous version completely before installing the new version.

If there are still problems after you try that, you would need to give more details, like what exactly happened, where there any error messages, ...

Also look for a file called error_log.txt in the directory C:\documents and settings\maijija117\.mnemosyne and tell me its contents.

Thank. Now I can solve the problem myself. I had saved file xxx.mem with Thai letter and then I meet the problem.
So, I tried to save xxx.mem in Englis and the problem disappered.

I also came across this one, when setting the .mem filename to "japoński.mem" (=Japanese in Polish). Is there any reason why non-ascii characters are a problem in filenames?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mnemosyne/pyqt_ui/main_dlg.py", line 506, in closeEvent
    backup_database()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mnemosyne/core/mnemosyne_core.py", line 1143, in backup_database

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gzip.py", line 155, in _write_gzip_header
    self.fileobj.write(fname + '\000')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0144' in position 37: ordinal not in range(128)

This is mnemosyne-1.1.1-r1. Has this already been fixed in current development code?

Yes, it's due to the interaction between Windows and Qt3, which is also
different on different localised versions of Windows and therefore difficult
to solve.

Hopefully the move to Qt4 in Mnemosyne 2.0 will alleviate this.

Note that I'm using Linux (Fedora 9), not Windows. Couldn't this be fixed
at least for Linux?

I have it working under Linux, provided I switch my entire system to using
Unicode to store filenames.

Well. My system is fully UTF-8, so that's not a problem. I notice that
the traceback mentions "ascii". I haven't looked at the actual code yet.

Strange... At the moment, I don't really have much time to investigate this,
but any help you could provide by looking at the code would be much
appreciated!

[Peter Bienstman (peter-bienstman)]

Could you try again with 1.2?

[Rathann (dominik-greysector)]

Sorry for the long delay.

I've just retried with 1.2 and it seems to be working correctly. Thanks a lot.
