Subject: bug#5050: 23.1; efiff: Displaying bytes instead of characters in messages
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:13:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ljhtnixd.fsf@gmx.de> (raw)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
If I do
M-x ediff-files RET
and choose binary files, e.g. x.png and x.jpg, this is, what I see in
the `*ediff*' buffer (no indentation):
Bin\303\244rdateien /home/sebastian/x.png and /home/sebastian/x.jpg sind verschieden.
What I expect to see is:
Binärdateien /home/sebastian/x.png and /home/sebastian/x.jpg sind verschieden.
What I'd prefer even more, would be `ediff' to load those two files two
different buffers, put those buffers in hexl-mode and diff them.
Before `ediff' does this, it should ask (maybe ask only, if the two
files or one of them exceeds a certain size).
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
