hrev50555

"error loading "xxxx.txt": Unsupported format"

comment:3 by pulkomandy, 8 years ago

Both files open fine here.

Please check the output of catattr be:encoding /boot/home/Desktop/HD5450.txt and listattr.

New text files created with hrev50559 also cannot be opened, with same error message. I'll provide your requested info shortly.

Welcome to the Haiku shell.

listattr is run with just the file name, no attribute name.

Anyway, the be:encoding should be a string if created by StyledEdit. So I need to know the exact process you used to create these files, to understand how they end up with an integer be:encoding (that is an old way to do it, from BeOS days). Moreover, the value stored in the attribute is the special value for "unknown" encoding. I should probably make StyledEdit ignore this specific value and re-do the detection from the text contents.

Since that commit, StyledEdit also seem to fail to open some rdef files.

comment:10 by vidrep, 8 years ago

I did a comparision of texts that fail to open vs ones that don't. The commonality in the failed texts is the text encoding - Unicode (UTF8).

comment:11 by pulkomandy, 8 years ago

Please try again with hrev50562 or later. Fixed some issues here but I'm not sure I caught all cases.

comment:12 by vidrep, 8 years ago

I tried a bunch of text files with different encoding and all seem to work now. If a non-working example pops up we can reopen the ticket. Thanks!

Thanks! Works great now :)

Still some issues here: I created a document with GoBe Word Processing and saved it in text format. When opened with StyledEdit the document is blank I can open it with Pe and see the contents without issue I have attached the document in question.

In order to get a list of attributes I shortened the name to Donations.txt

~> listattr Donations.txt
File: Donations.txt
        Type       Size  Name                                
----------------------------------------------------------
 MIME String        11  "BEOS:TYPE"
      Int-32         4  "alignment"
    Raw Data       160  "styles"
        Text         5  "be:encoding"
      'RECT'        16  "StyledEdit-info"
      Int-32         4  "be:caret_position"
      'info'       529  "pe-info"

729 bytes total in attributes.
~> catattr be:encoding /boot/home/Donations.txt

JFYI, with listattr -l you'll also get the contents of the attributes. Saves you the cumbersome catattr line. :)
