Subject: bug#13907: 24.3.50; cygw32 build mishandles drag-n-dropped file with non-ASCII characters in name
Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:18:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <513A1D4D.5060908@cornell.edu> (raw)
Create a file "/tmp/Ü.txt". (In case my mailer mangles this, that's
<U-umlaut>.txt.) Now open Windows Explorer and drag this file into an
emacs frame. This results in the error message
dnd-open-local-file: Can not read file:///tmp/%20.txt
I think the problem occurs early in w32-handle-dropped-file (defined in
lisp/term/w32-win.el). That function starts with
(let ((f (if (eq system-type 'cygwin)
(cygwin-convert-file-name-from-windows file-name t)
At this point f should have the value "/tmp/Ü.txt". If I continue
manually carrying out the code in w32-handle-dropped-file as though f
had that value, everything is fine, as shown below. So
cygwin-convert-file-name-from-windows must be doing something wrong.
Here's a session in the *scratch* buffer, imitating what
w32-handle-dropped-file would do starting from the correct value of f:
(setq f "/tmp/Ü.txt")
"/tmp/Ü.txt"
(setq coding (or file-name-coding-system
default-file-name-coding-system))
utf-8-unix
(setq file-name
(mapconcat 'url-hexify-string
(split-string (encode-coding-string f coding)
"/")
"/"))
"/tmp/%C3%9C.txt"
(setq uri (concat
(if (eq system-type 'cygwin)
"file://"
"file:")
file-name))
"file:///tmp/%C3%9C.txt"
(dnd-get-local-file-name uri t)
"/tmp/Ü.txt"
