Its your misunderstanding of a uri, see [1]. > > I tried writing a variant which replaces the writing form with the > correct Umlaut symbol, but it just shows me a messed up filename. > If you plan to do further processing or monitoring of the file you may want to look at a glib GFile [2] and use g_file_new_for_uri which will transparently unescape for you. If you just want to unescape the uri use g_uri_unescape_string [3]. ~infirit [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme [2] https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.50/GFile.html [3] https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-URI-Functions.html#g-uri-unescape-string _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
