GeNIe missing Unicode encoding

Post by orzech »

Hello,

I've noticed that GeNIe's text fields don't support any Unicode-type encoding. Thus, it makes impossible to use GeNIe for editing node's documentation/properties in foregin languages (German, French etc...). Is there a chance you can solve this in the nearest future?

Kind Regards,
Piotr

SMILE and GeNIe save the .xdsl files with ISO-8859-1 encoding, which has full support for German and almost complete coverage for French - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1

I've added ticket for UTF-8 support to our tracker. However, the implementation is not trivial and it's not going to be done in the nearest future.

Thank you. Unfortunately string encoding in C++ is really a pain... :/

Good luck and Happy New Year
