[GWhere-discussion] Re[4]: Encoding under Windows and Linux

[fuzzy2]

Hello Zero and list.
I want return to discussion about russian encodings started in April-May of 
2006 (you can see my last message at 
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gwhere-discussion/2006-05/msg00008.html). 
I saw no messages for last month from list but still hope that project is alive.
I have tested gwhere under Fedora Core 5 and get some new results (gwhere under 
Fedora was installed from 
http://www.gwhere.org/download/rpm/gwhere-0.2.1-1.FC4.i686.rpm). This is the 
main reason of this e-mail. You can see attached file Test_FC5_and_Win.ctg as 
illustration. This file was created under Fedora Core 5 (UTF-8 encoding). All 
russian language are working fine in GWhere under Fedora - I had creaded 
russian name of archive, russian description of categories and import disc with 
russian filenames (Achive #12). After this I opened this arhive under Windows. 
The 1st trouble was that instead of russian on disc #12, I saw only strange 
symbols. Further I added another disc with russian names filenames (Achive #13) 
into Test_FC5_and_Win.ctg under OS Windows. It was imported ok - I could see 
russian names imported under Windows and strange symbols (russian imported 
under Fedora). After that I tried to open catalog under Fedora again and so the 
2nd trouble - russian imported under Fedora still ok, but there were nothing at 
all shown instead of russian filenames imported under Windows (only properties 
of files and directories were shown).
I hope this info will be useful for further development.
Please ask me, if you need any help (testing, coding, documenting or something 
else...)

BR,
Vlad
