wxGUI: "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters" in pl_PL.UTF-8

[msieczka]

Debian squeeze amd64, releasebranch_6_4 r45717.

1. Start wxGUI in pl_PL.UTF-8.
2. Add any raster or vector layer.
3. Change it's opacity level.

Try to save a project - error:

Zapis bieżących ustawień do pliku projektu nie powiódł się.

Powód: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 66-67: ordinal not in range(128)

Traceback (most recent call last):

    (' ' * self.indent, type, name, checked, opacity));
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 66-67: ordinal not in range(128)

Can't also remove the problematic layer from the list - similar error:

  File "/usr/local/grass-6.4.1svn/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py",
line 1395, in OnDeleteLayer

name = str(self.curr_page.maptree.GetItemText(item))
UnicodeEncodeError

Please try out GRASS 6.5, should be working there. Changing milestone to 6.4.2. Name of raster/vector contains only ASCII characters?

Replying to martinl:

Doesn't work in 6.5 r45717 either:

Changing milestone to 6.4.2.

6.4.1 impossible?

Name of raster/vector contains only ASCII characters?

Yes. The culprit seems to be the Polish word for "opacity" - "nieprzeźroczystość", which wxGUI has problem to deal with.

Testing G65 with polish locale, "opacity" not translated, no errors.

Changing milestone to 6.4.2.

6.4.1 impossible?

Yes, too late. For 6.4.2 I am planning major update of wxGUI (from devbr6).

Please try out r46771 (backported also to devbr6 and relbr64)
