#1304 closed defect (fixed)

wx: map selection with LANG=C causes error

Reported by: hamish Owned by: martinl
Priority: critical Milestone: 6.5.0
Component: wxGUI Version: svn-develbranch6
Keywords: sorting, unicode Cc: grass-dev@…
CPU: x86-64 Platform: Linux

Description

(moved here from #1300)

when LANG=C you get this error when you go to pick a map from the wxGUI drop-down list (e.g. in d.rast):

GSelect: invalid item: descriptor 'lower' requires a
'unicode' object but received a 'str'

with LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 it works ok.

tested with latest 6.5svn.

thanks, Hamish

this bug is also present in trunk, but not 6.4.svn.

The reason is case insensitive sorting items using unicode. In r45881 items are sorted in case sensitive mode which works for str/unicode. Now sorting items in GSelect works similarly to g.list (case sensitive).

Case insensitive sorting is more agreeable to me, but that's just personal preference and if that's problematic it's not a big deal.

anyway, now it works again in 6.5svn, thanks.

a somewhat unrelated thing I notice: in the d.vect wxgui dialog the symbols in the drop down list are sorted by type, but not alphabetically within that type. seems to be same as 'd.vect --help' (and --xmd-desc I suppose); raw filesystem order read with d.vect/main.c's icon_files() -> readdir().

it would be nice to sort that list at the module level following the g.list method.

try r48504 (trunk) or r48505 (devbr6)
