Text files with national characters in their names won't open.

Filenames were not URL-escaped before opening with gnome.url_open().
Attached patch escapes the filenames.

The patch works for me :-)
Thanks :-)

There's still a problem with the results of beagle-live.

Hm, beagle-query reports an unescaped string. Is that right? Also, beagle-search refuses to associate any app with it. Seems that the beagle-live failure is a beagle-related bug.

Hello
I dont know if this bug is related, but I have a similar problem.
I have several files in:
"/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/Hernández/"

Beagle is indexing files ok, and beagle search shows the proper files when I am looking for it.

But when I double-click in a file from the search window in order to open it, the asociated application cannot open it because the path to the file is malformed.

For example, if the file corresponds to...
"/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/Hernández/doc.htm"

...then Beagle tries to open this path...
file:///mnt/windows/Documents%20and%20Settings/Hern%E1ndez/doc.htm

...but the correct one should be:
file:///mnt/windows/Documents%20and%20Settings/Hern%C3%A1ndez/doc.htm

On the other hand, if I use te option "reveal in folder" the folder containing the file opens correctly in nautilus...

Thank you
Oscar

I've the same problem in edgy (deskbar + beagle-live). The filename is "/home/emix/Università/cv.pdf" and the error reported is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/deskbar/DeskbarApplet.py", line 121, in on_match_selected
    match.action(text)
  File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/beagle-live.py", line 218, in action
    action(self.result)
  File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/beagle-live.py", line 100, in <lambda>
    "action": lambda d: gnome.url_show(d["uri"]),
GError: Non è possibile trovare la posizione o il file.

The problem referred in my previous comment (2006-08-07), relative to Ubuntu Dapper, is NOT present with my current configuration:

- Ubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10)
- Beagle Search 0.2.9 (Using Desktop Search, not using Deskbar).

Now Beagle opens correctly all files with accents in their names.

It is important to note that when I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy I deleted all the files and folders in ~/.beagle (except the folder "config") so all indexes were rebuilt by the new version of beagle.

I've a fresh installation of edgy (no upgrade from dapper) and the problem is only in deskbar (beagle-live extension). With "Desktop Search" it works fine.

there is the same problem with libdeskbar-tracker. a live search works, but if someone clicks on a result who has national characters (french accent for example) it crashes the tracker plugin.

looks like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388963 and should be fixed with feisty, closing. Feel free to reopen if you still get the bug
