Swedish characters (åäö ÅÄÖ) in cue names not working all the time with $(INSTANCENAME:r_name) #52

Closed Gartom closed 2 years ago

Gartom commented 3 years ago

Sometimes when loading cues in Qlab the name of the cue does not show up correctly. The name shows correctly within Qlab. It seems to be related to how filenames are stored on network, potentially originally from a Windows PC. All file names show up correctly in both Qlab and Finder on the Mac. If I edit the file name within the Qlab cue list, I can get the Swedish characters to show up correctly in companion

Example: Button text in companion: Button text variable

File name loaded as cue in Qlab: File name

Button when cue loaded: Button

If I edit the text of the cue within Qlab, I can get it to show åäö ÅÄÖ correctly: Button_OK

Working on a patch myself for this issue but don't have a mac with Qlab at home so need to wait before I can test it.

I tested my RegExp patch some weeks ago but it didn't work as I hoped. I didn't bother to investigate further as I found the workaround to edit the cue names in Qlab instead.

That looks like QLab is altering the text when loading the file name. The companion module is displaying the text QLab sends. As you discovered, there is not a simple solution from the companion side. Closing.
