widgets/recent_files: fix on utf8 hosts with umlauts #52

Closed sttts closed 4 years ago

sttts commented 4 years ago

Wondering in which setup is qtpyvcp tested? I noticed in a couple of places that it does not handle utf8 chars correctly. Probably it's due to python2. How is python3 support going? Python2 is gone in recent distros.

Hello, my dev environment is a linuxcnc 2.80 iso so debian 10 spanish locale

There are others that run linux mint but all debian distributions

About python 3 I think we should upgrade when linuxcnc debs with python 3 support are available.

There is a python3 branch in qtpyvcp but never went master, and the only way to get linuxcnc with python 3 support is build from sources iirc

I tried to run via linuxcnc config/probe_basic/probe_basic.ini and I did not get this error. Wondering whether it is anything with my ini.

Seems to work fine. Not sure what was different last time.
