Is it possible set ~/.emacs.d/ebdb's coding?

eieio-persistent-save can only write in utf-8-emacs. What coding system are you using? I guess I'll have to make sure everything gets converted correctly.

When you open up the EBDB database file, what encoding does Emacs say it's in?

[tumashu]

utf-8 in linux and gbk in window

[tumashu]

maybe we should force add follow line to ebdb file, so user can proper open and view it

;; Local Variables:
;; coding: utf-8-emacs
;; End:

The file is saved as utf-8, and Emacs should be able to recognize that and open it as utf-8. When you open the file, what coding system does it open the file in? Down at the bottom left of the mode line?

[tumashu]

gbk

[girzel]

I'd rather not monkey-patch the files...

Would you eval this snippet, and tell me if it works okay? If so, I'll add it to ebdb-load.

(push
     (cons
      (regexp-opt (mapcar (lambda (db)
                (slot-value db 'file))
              ebdb-db-list))
      'utf-8-emacs)
     auto-coding-alist)

tomorrow， I will try this :-)

[girzel]

Do let me know if this takes care of it!

[tumashu]

好像ebdb buffer不乱码了，但.ebdb还是不能正确识别为UTF-8

[girzel]

它应该就是把utf-8 decode 为 gbk，这没有问题。如果 EBDB buffers 可以正常输入、显示内容，就差不多了。

[tumashu]

OK

ebdb default file is ~/.emacs.d/ebdb, but I want to define other directory, for example ~/MEGA/ebdb.gpg. I set {{(setq ebdb-file "~/.emacs.d/ebdb.pgp")}}, but it does not work. How to solve it?

[girzel]

You should just be able to:

(setq ebdb-sources (list "~/.emacs.d/ebdb.pgp"))
