Bug ID: 39678 Summary: Zararadio can not read folder/file name path with Latin characters Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jotape1960@yahoo.com Distribution: ---
Zararadio (a radio automation software for windows) needs to use special text files called:
*.rot (rotations, are playlists which will be played one audio file each time it is called from the central control; it is intended to animations).
*.seq (sequences, are playlists which will be played full, from the first to the last audio files in the list, each time it is called; it is intended to advertising break).
Well, the issue is that if those special files have references to folders and/or files which names have Latin characters (ñ, í, ó, ~, etc.), the program can not read it well and it truncates those path into blank spaces after the first Latin characters in the line.
For example: If the original path is:
D:\PROGRAMAS\COMERCIALES\La Malagueña 2.mp3
(Reference to an advertising audio file)
The software reads it as:
D:\PROGRAMAS\COMERCIALES\La Malague ...blank spaces...
(because of the ñ character)
As a result of that, the scheduled events (the main reason to use the software) doesn't work so fine (the audio files with Latin characters aren't be played), so... It isn't useful as an automatic schedule program.
I use Wine 1.6.2 into Ubuntu Studio 15.10
(BTW: How can I install the latest version of Wine?)
