arora can not recognize utf8 on bookmark html import #688

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Steps:
1. export firefox (v3.5.3) bookmarks to html
2. import them into arora (v0.10.1)
3. check that non-latin bookmark names corrupted

Workaround:
do 'iconv -f utf8 -t ISO_8859-1' on ~/.local/share/data/Arora/bookmarks.xbel

and then manualy fix some characters such long -

Example:
bookmark 'Программа Arora' becomes to 'ÐÑÐ¾Ð³ÑÐ°Ð¼Ð¼Ð° 
Arora'

Same here with Turkish bookmarks

Better workaround:

Export bookmarks from Firefox
Import them in Konqueror
Save them to xml (modify bookmarks->File/Save as)
Import them in Arora

And no manual fix will be needed
