Public bug reported: My system is using the fr_CA locale with the ISO-8859-1 character set. In gnumeric, when I try to save a file in a directory that contains non- ASCII characters, I get an 'Error' dialog with the following message: "Not a valid UTF-8 filename."
It still creates a file in the directory but it is empty. If I use the 'Create directory' function in the file browser dialog, the directory is created with UTF-8 encoding (it should be created in the same charset than my locale.) Example directory: $ export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.iso-8859-1" $ mkdir ~/RĂ©pertoire ** Affects: gnumeric (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Problems with paths containing non-ASCII character in non-UTF8 locale https://launchpad.net/bugs/59529 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
