[Openexr-devel] UTF-8

[Hồ Châu]

I think OpenEXR should require UTF-8 or UTF-16 only. Modern format need Unicode, ASCII too US English, obsolete. People want use their languages. UTF-8 can work with old ASCII software. My OpenEXR viewer assume UTF-8 strings.

Chủ đề: [Openexr-devel] UTF-8

In OpenEXR 2.0, how about coming up with a formal position as to whether channel names and string attributes are considered UTF-8?

If we want to do as little as possible, I think it'd be good to at least include something in the docs like "use UTF-8 at your own risk" or maybe take a tougher stance like "all text in OpenEXR files should be ASCII".  I want to know if I should expect UTF-8 or can just ignore it.  Right now I'm sure some writers are storing UTF-8 and some readers are treating it as ASCII.


Also, maybe a new "encodedStringAttribute" should be added where the encoding is stored?  Would people use such a thing?
