It doesn't handle torrents with latin characters in filename when it was opened #160

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
transmission-remote-gtk svn version 
Ubuntu Natty 64 bits

I have defined transmission-remote-gtk like the default app for torrent files.
When I double click a torrent file with latin characters in filename (example: 
"pequeñas mentirosas.torrent"), or I select "Open with: 
transmission-remote-gtk" from contextual menu of torrent file, 
transmission-remote-gtk opens the window to add that torrent but empty (see 
screenshot).

This bug is curious. Only it occurs when transmission-remote-gtk was opened 
before to add the torrent file.

I reproduced it, it's strange, it should work.

The problem seems to be with libunique, which transmission-remote-gtk uses to 
pass filenames to the first instance. The second instance seems to send the URI 
in the message, but the first instance receives an empty libunique message 
without the URI. I had a brief chat with the libunique guy about this, he said 
it should take care of the encoding and I don't need to... I think this could 
be a bug I should report.

A new instance will work fine because it doesn't use libunique.

This problem still occurs.
I attach one torrent file with this problem (I've changed the URL of tracker, 
it's a private tracker).

I have found this link, perhaps it can help you: 
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.3/gtk-migrating-GtkApplication.html 
(Migrating from libunique to GApplication or GtkApplication)

In the main site of this library it says "Unique is now in maintenance mode, 
and its usage is strongly discouraged."

Yes, aware of this, and the support for GtkApplication is already there. If you 
built with GTK3 support, it will be using GtkApplication. If you built against 
GTK2 it will be using libunique, so support for it will be there as long as I 
want to support GTK2 (probably for quite some time still).

GtkApplication isn't present in GTK 2, and libunique won't work in GTK3. 
There's also a third method for win32 I wrote, unfortunately, as neither 
libunique or GtkApplication on GTK2/3 will work on that.

I'll look at this when I have time.

I have downloaded the source from git repository again to compile it from 
scratch.
I have uninstalled libunique-dev but I have installed libunique-3.0-dev (from 
gtk+-3).
When I execute "configure":
....
checking for unique... no
configure: WARNING: libunique is required for opening torrents on gtk+-2.0. not 
needed for gtk+-3.0 or win32. 
....
I use Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits with gnome shell 3.4 and it uses gtk+-3.
But if I don't install the libunique-dev library, it opens a new instance for 
every torrent.
This message is erroneous or it isn't well implemented.

Sorry, I didn't see the option: "--enable-gtk3" in configure.
Ok, I have compiled with this option and without libunique. Now it works well 
even with torrents with latin characters. :-)
I think this bug can close.
Thanks again for your work.

I'll leave it open as I'd like to fix this for GTK2 users (most people). Let me 
know how GTK3 support works. I encountered an issue with changing treeview 
selection crashing, which I think is a GTK3 bug.

If it happens to you please open a new issue with a backtrace.

ok.
The treeview change is when I select different trackers, folders and/or states 
of torrent, no?

I only ever saw it with the torrent tree view actually.

I suspect it has something to do with the stacking of the filtered and sorted 
models.
