Open Recent Character Bug

[NeLaS]

Hello,

I believe I'm experiencing a bug for character enconding.

Some of my folders contain characters like "í". When opening a file within a
folder with this type of character it opens normally, and if I close and
open it using "open recent" feature the path is ok and the file opens again.
However, if I restart imagej and try to open the same file the path is
corrupted. For example.

/share/multimídia/foto.tif

after restart it becomes

/share/multimÂ#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#Â#Ã#dia/foto.tif

(please substitute # for a square...)

The size and number of this additional Ã#Â# is variable and last night I
waited over 1 hour to load "Open Recent" address, since it seems to enter a
loop printing this bad encoded characters until the line becomes a black
stripe. Very awful looking :-)

I believe I did not have this problem before, but since I update imagej
frequently I can't tell in which version this happened (it is not the first
time I experience the bug)

I'm now using version 1.38t.

thanks!

bruno

Hi Bruno,

maybe you could help tracing down the bug by looking at the IJ_Prefs.txt
file (Windows: In the ImageJ folder, Mac: in $home/Library/Preferences)
and see what the recent00 etc. items look there?

To detect non-printable characters, it would be best to use an
editor that can display hex characters such as Notepad++ or a
hexdump facility.

On my Mac, I cannot open such a file from the 'Recent' menu after
restarting ImageJ; the "í" character gets converted to a question
mark when stored in IJ_Prefs.txt, but it is only ONE question mark.

What operating system do you use?

I'm using http://www.vim.org/, and when opening slowness takes over the
machine (apparently to load the tons of Ã<83>Â<82>...). I'm not sure if it
is displaying non-printable characters, but looks like.

They look like this

/MultimÃ<83>Ã<83>Â<82>...

if I copy paste it here (from the visual editor -
http://cream.sourceforge.net/):

/Multim?ƒÂƒ?‚ƒ?ƒÂ‚?‚ƒ?ƒ

Another. I opened the same image many times and it was stored on recent00,
01, 02... recent01(the least recent, in this case) has less lines of
Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82> than recent02. recent02 has less lines than recent03 and so
on...

recent02=/share/Documentos/Biologia/Mestrado/MultimÃ<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>­dia/Confocal/290507.mdb/01.tif
recent01=/share/Documentos/Biologia/Mestrado/MultimÃ<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<83>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<83>Ã<82>Â<82>Ã<83>Â<82>Ã<82>­dia/Confocal/290507.mdb/01.tif

sorry for the excessive amount of Ã<83>Â<82> in this msg...
