Bug 147094 – media-gfx/picasa launcher on utf8 systems should be modified

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guillaume Ramelet 2006-09-10 11:56:46 UTC]

When using UTF-8 gentoo with extended characters in filenames or directory, there is some issue in displaying these characters because the picasa launcher unset the locale.

A solution works for me and should maybe be deployed (with a patch) for users with unicode keyword :

/opt/picasa/bin/wrapper intentionally forces
the locale.  To fix this, comment out the lines

# FIXME - Only US English has been well tested to this point,
#         so we unset all LOCALE strings, causing us to default to
Posix and hence US English
 for x in `locale 2>/dev/null | sed 's/=.*$//'` ; do
    unset $x
done
