v7.00.0045 should fix it. Does it?

Yes. The Catalog problem is fixed now.

The ::colonge script still shows the same window. Probably relating to that is that "ö" isn't shown correctly in the address bar, although Германия is shown correctly.

Anyway, steady steps toward full unicode support :P

Good! :D

That ö is incorrect in the cologne window is no surprise. That's just a proof that your Windows is Japanese. Now I only need a programmatical way to determine which chars share the problems of ö. However, this is a minor issue compared to what we have achieved in the last days. Thanks a lot for your collaboration!!

BTW, here's your codepage:

Pretty confusing, right? :wink:

ö is F6: maps to nothing... no wonder it makes trouble. :)

Sorry, you can see Германия in your address bar in cyrillic letters??? I can't...

Yes. Is this the first time my system gets it right and your system doesn't? :wink:

Code: Select all

v7.00.0053 - 2008-04-26 22:02 

+ Menu Edit | Paste Special | Paste Clipboard Into New Textfile: 
  This function as well as the Drop-Text-To-File feature now both 
  support UNICODE. So drag-drop your Olympic Games Schedule in 
  Chinese in a blink (in case you bother). 
"Германия" works, but "ö" doesn't work in my environment :wink:

Okay, should be fixed in next version. :)

I'm sorry, but the newly created txt file is encoded in the system default, not in UTF-16. So "ö" is necessarily garbled in my environment. With "Германия", it's correctly encoded in UTF-16 :wink:

But if you have "Германия" AND "ö" in one file it does work, right?

Yes, when both of them (seperated by space) make up a single text string on the clipboard. So why doesn't "Köln" alone work? :wink:

Because "ö" is within the ANSI range (#246) and I decided to create ANSI files for texts will all ANSI characters. If only one off-ANSI char is in a text I create a UNICODE file.

That your codepage does funny things with ANSI characters is difficult to handle for me, since I don't know of any programmatical way to check for these "ill-behaving" ANSI chars.

All I could do is to create always UNICODE files if the system has a DBCS codepage (as japan, korea, china, thailand). Is that good? What does Explorer when you drop an "ö" in Japan?
