UTF8 vs. locale in error messages (bug 5715)

Hi. When looking at bug 5715 I found that we use both UTF8 (from file names) and locale (from strerror()) in the error messages presented from simple_dialog(). In vsimple_dialog() we convert all messages with g_locale_to_utf8(), which will wrongly convert the file name (like in the bug report). When using Norwegian characters in the file name the text in the dialog is empty. Any ideas how we should fix this? Convert all messages from strerror() when putting the text into the error string and remove the conversion in vsimple_dialog()? We have about 240 calls to strerror(). https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5715 -- Stig Bjørlykke ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
