[win32] Move storage problem with non-ascii paths

[Oleg]

Problem:

Upgraded Deluge from 1.2.3 to 1.3.0 on Ubuntu Server 10.04. And I found the BUG, when I save torrent into directory with cyrillic chars.

Example:

I have a dir for my video files /media/STORAGE01/ВИДЕО/ФИЛЬМЫ but Deluge ignores "/ВИДЕО/ФИЛЬМЫ" and saves files to "/media/STORAGE01", and after dounload complete I can't move files to my ../ВИДЕО directory.

Information:

Daemon: 1.3.0 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 Client: 1.3.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium

Fixed in 1.3-stable.

Oleg, could we see debug-level log?

The same bug appears when the destination directory contains Swedish characters (åäö)

[Thump]

This is a problem with encodings and utf8. There are a lot of such problems for the whole Deluge project.

[Cas]

I cannot replicate this on Ubuntu or Windows XP, using the suggested characters.

Please reopen this ticket if you have debug logs or more detailed information (Deluge >= 1.3.1)

Replying to Thump:

This is a problem with encodings and utf8. There are a lot of such problems for the whole Deluge project.

If you could start a topic in the forum about the issues that would help.

I have actually spotted the problem on windows xp.

Steps to reproduce:

From within Deluge, using Move Storage, create a folder using the name: åäö A second folder named åäö will be created which seems to be the core of the issue as Deluge is internally converting åäö to åäö but still showing åäö to the user.

This seems to be isolated to windows versions of Deluge as I cannot replicate on Ubuntu.

move storage to /tmp/teståäö failure

[sellsky]

I get Deluge from current git master branch, start deluged in ArchLinux?, and then move torrent to /tmp/teståäö, with no success (see deluged.log I attached).

Maybe by any chance the problem is still here?

[Cas]

Can you please test against the git 1.3-stable branch.

On reviewing your log this is not the same. When checking the path your operating system is trying to convert to ASCII instead of UTF8 or Unicode. See this helpful  Django FAQ
