[Pharo-users] CommandLine handler and UTF8 path

Jan. 20, 2015

      Hi,

I have discovered a problem with my DrGeo command line handler. Its
purpose, under linux only for now, is to let the user open a DrGeo
sketch file from the desktop file manager by double-clicking on the file.

Sadly, it seems it does not work when non ascii characters are present
in the path or the filename.

The command line handler parameters are correctly set form the bash
script, I got this output:

drgeo --sketch=/home/hilaire/Axe-SymÃ©trie/axes de symÃ©trie.fgeo

But once in Pharo, the string representing the path to the file is
wrongly interpreted, I have this error from Pharo:

Error: /home/hilaire/Axe-SymÃÂ©trie/axes de symÃÂ©trie.fgeo does not exist!
...
From the DrGeo.sh startup script, Pharo is fired with this instruction:
exec "$VM/pharo" \
    --plugins "$VM" \
    --encoding utf-8 \
    -vm-display-X11 \
    -title "Dr.Geo" \
    $image \
    $DRGEO_OPT"$filename"

Opening this same file directly form DrGeo works correctly.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hilaire
