Galeon bookmark file encoding
Hello,
What kind of mess is galeon doing with text encoding in its XBEL bookmark file?
I tried utf-8 and I tried latin1, the bookmark file is read but items
with accents and other special characters are displayed blank in the
bookmark menu and in the bookmark editor.
This might be a (bad!!) display problem (bad!!), but then there is
saving: when galeon writes bookmarks back to disk, all non-ascii7
characters are encoded with utf8 sequences represented by html escapes,
like à standing for à (latin1: à). Also, the encoding
tag in the <?xml processing instruction line is gone.
I'm writing a program that manipulates Galeon's XBEL files, reading
them, changing them and saving them back, and I'd like to come out with
a strategy to be able to do it many times without corrupting the
existing data. Is there some rationale on Galeon's actual behaviour, or
should I file some bug report somewhere?
I'm running galeon 1.2.5-1 in unstable.
Bye, Enrico
