Hi everyone
I'm new to this community, I've just recently found this great program.
I started to play with it and I ran into a problem when I've worked with Unicode characters. I've searched through the forum and I found out that it is a quite common problem. Since I haven't found a topic dedicated to this issue I decided to open this one.
I will try to keep this post up-to-date (since this is my very first post, I don't know if I have the right to edit my post - ok, I can edit it  ) with the findings and the status.
Where it works (at least for me, correct me if I'm wrong):
- Grid view / Thumbnail view
- Movie card
- Edit movie dialog
Where it needs to be fixed:
- Script editor (both editor section and directlinks tab)
- ScriptEngine status dialog, direclinks tab
Everyone,
please report here your findings too
Alession,
if you need I can provide screenshots. Please let me know what is the priority of this issue on your end. If you need any help from me I'm happy to cooperate
This Unicode support is a key feature for as I'm from Hungary and I want to manage my collection with their hungarian title. For this to achieve I've already started to write a script for port.hu, the biggest online hungarian movie database (the CREATEMOVIELIST block is already done). Once it's done I plan to translate the software itself. (of course I'm gonna publish both when it's done)
Regards,
Apolitosz |

Movie Card: It works well as long as you stay within your current regions' / language standard windows codepage.
It's not possible to "mix" different language families like Latin and Cyrillic. It's not a problem of the database itself but of the logic which XMM uses to retrieve field values and deliver them to HTML card fields. It's probably the same logic which gets used for NFO export which doesn't support Unicode yet too.

As already mentioned: it doesn't work for NFO export. |

Sorry, but this is (almost) 2013. There is no "logic" in NOT supporting Unicode properly. Ale has acknowledged for years the need to address this issue, but it always seems to be a lesser priority than adding bells and whistles. This, and some other important issues, should have been resolved once and for all in v.7.x.x.x or at least before v.8 was rolled out.
Happy new year to all. Let's hope it's the year that XMM discovers unicode. :)

A happy new year from me too. To be fair: lets wish that XMM will soon support Unicode fully. The database is ready for it and most of the display stuff seems to be there too.
While it's hopefully not such big a task for exporting values from the database to HTML (cards) or (I)nfo files I suppose it will take (a lot?) more time - and testing - for importing stuff from the web. |
