I'm using Notepad++, but the font can't be culprit. When adding exotic text into the same file with "appendfile" it looks correct. Only snippets added by iniwrite are wrong.

I have discovered a problem using Notepad++ for encoding an ini file as UTF-8. It cannot do that. I made a file ini style with encoding set to UTF-8. When I save the file as some_name.ini and select 'all types' the resulting file is ANSI.

I finally succeeded using Notepad. The file is UTF-8-BOM.

I am working on a system to help every macro writer quickly start working with an ini file that is UTF-8. It will be a function.

I was here trying to find out how to spell 'cyrillic' when I saw your post. I need another hour or so to finish and test.

For iniwrite maybe it works with utf-16 only. Can iniread read utf-8 correctly?

have tested, with chinese KM-readme, on Vista:

- iniwrite creates new files always as ANSI, regardless which text is copied.
The chinese characters are all written "???"
==> iniread reads "???"

- creating files first with Notepad++ OR with vista-notepad in UTF8:
==> same as ANSI: "???"

- copying chinese text via clipboard and Notepad directly into those UTF8 files:
==> iniread reads characters very unhealthy looking, definitely wrong ;-)

- creating files first with vista-notepad in "unicode":
==> Notepad++ identifies this as "UCS-2 Little Endian"
==> THIS WORKS! reading+writing

PS: found in my notes from a few weeks ago that "appendfile" ONLY writes UTF-8. Which creates wrong characters too if the existing file is in ANSI. But may have to test this again.

How does one make a file as UTF-16? Notepad++ would not make file. I finally used Notepad.

My system created a new ini file UTF8, but using iniwrite did not send correct words to the file. Lines 1 and two existed in a UTF-8-BOM file. Macro with iniwrite wrote cyrillic to file as the next two lines.

The file remains as UTF-8-BOM. The file has List in []'s as line 3 but that does not show here. I have no idea why.

Encoding=utf-8

Just a little test-macro for ini + appendfile, it appears on top of Edit-menu:

http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?9,file=1332,filename=test_iniwrite.kmm

PS James:
When posting code it helps to check "disable BBcode for this message" and perhaps also "disable smileys for this message". Can be found right below the title. Have overlooked it for years too - and right now at this moment I discover there's also a checkbox for sig lines

Edit: Path-correction in macro. I shouldn't make last minute changing without testing, no matter how simple (sigh).

I finally got an ini file to accept a string in UTF-8. As Dorian pointed out the ini file must already be UTF-8 for the iniwrite to work correctly.

I have file in locales named Tword.txt which has some Russian text. I have a file in macros which is an ini encoded in UTF-8. The trick is to always copy,and use the ini model in macros as the existing ini file to which you would write UTF-8 strings.

The model file - uniis8.ini

[code]
[IniMode]
Encoding=utf-8
[/code]

My test string file - root\locales\Tword.txt

[code]
Знакомство с браузером
[/code]

My output ini file in my profile - MyNewFile.ini

[code]
[IniMode]
Encoding=utf-8
[List]
Russian=Знакомство с браузером
[/code]

My macro and the files to run the test are here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1522294/ini_eight.7z

The macro, Makeini8, can be called from your code. The variable, $_I8path, must be provided.

[code]
Makeini8 {
$__Cpath = getfolder(MacroFolder)."\\iniis8.ini";
$__result = copyfile($__Cpath, $_I8path);
$__result ? logmsg($_I8path, warning) : alert("failed", "makini8", EXCLAIM);
}
[/code]

Meanwhile noticed my little testmacro above had a glitch, the path was empty. Argh - again one of those last-minute changes which seem too simple to test again...

After testing it with KM1.6 on vista, it looks like iniwrite has always encoded in utf-16 only.

@Dorian: can we get some encoding options in macrolanguage, for creating and changing?
A quick search for commandline options for notepad sounds like there exists a switch, but they say it wouldn't work. Are there any other ways that don't require user actions...?
Or alternatively include litte empty encoded files as template, which could be copied by appendfile etc...

James, no time to test yours until evening (the hassle with my 2 computers), but from reading it sounds like ini-writing into an existing utf8-file works in Win7?? On Vista no chance. And your template really is "UTF-8", not accidentally "unicode/utf16/little endian"?

I tried so many combinations that I had to go back and check to how the files were encoded.

Tword.txt is UTF-8 BOM
iniis8.ini is UCS-2 LE BOM

This might just be one unique time that it works. I get confused anytime the encoding is not ANSI.

Any chance that UCS-2 LE BOM is "unicode/utf16/little endian"?

Thanks Dorian, KOI8 encoding works and switches great!

Checked really need to replace only kernel32.dll (from SP3)
and KMELEON is working steadily in XP SP2 : )

In this version also fixes crash on pages on css3 with
repeated minimise and maximise the window, thank you!
...
Noticed a crash when you try to pass a reference
in an external download manager (e.g. Orbit Downloader)
unfortunately crash report plugin not generates a report
falling along with the program.

By the way crash report plugin often does not generate
reports (plugin crashes with browser).

Using Sysinternals tools has shown that the culprit file
secur32.dll. However, without it, the transmission links
(automatically) not possible. Replacing file from another
OS version has no effect as renaming. These actions lead
to inability of the transfer operation. Glitch noticed in
the entire family of windows server 2008 service pack
doesn't matter. The browser then begins to fall immediately,
while the system will not reboot.

Problems with saving pages in the format with images
(Web page, complete). Is expressed: browser saves empty
folders without pictures (sometimes with clean sub-folders)
and without page is html. Example, http://www.free-codecs.com/
or http://codecs.com/ . Try to save "Web page, complete".
Never happened since 74+. Other browsers save without problems.

And about save please tell me it is possible to add the save
the page in TXT format as in seamonkey / firefox ? Often can
find pages consisting of frames and text on them is displayed
only by scripts. That is, retaining such page in HTML and opened
offline, you'll get a blank screen and TXT at least saved text.
Often found on forums and conferences, for example, there are
required scripts:
http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=4:128497 or any conference ixbt.
This is just an example.

At the end please can tell me how can I use a new built-in adblock,
or is he still an experimental and not working?
Previously used adapted extension and everything was obviously.

Yeah. As I wrote above:

==> Notepad++ identifies this as "UCS-2 Little Endian"

And when I looked that up in the web it turned out another name is UTF-16, as Dorian already suspected.
Perhaps we don't necessarily need to write in UTF-8, but one way or another iniwrite should be able to write exotic text into self-created files.
PS: appendfile writes fine into both, UTF-8+16

@Dorian
Currently have the prob again that a macro just won't work without a tiny break in between. Needed alert boxes as workaround in the past, but too annoying. Remembered now the new "settimer" function
It does work fine, a LOT more convenient than popups, but 1 sec can be amazingly looong... Especially if only a split-second would be needed. Have tried by pure JS and settimeout-500ms, that's better, but it needs toggling JS on
Please change "settimer" to 1 = 1/100 sec?

Hmm, then again... grmpf. Thought there are no macros out there yet which use it, but forgot that 75.X already have that 1sec build in, for all future macros too
The again... my own macros are cross-version and check the platform.ini for it, they could adapt...

What kind of macro?
But I understand that sometimes you may need to wait for kmeleon to do its stuff in a middle of a macro. settimer can be used as a workaround, but something more practical should be done. I can always add a setµtimer if I don't have a better solution.

That is great! Looks like the iniwrite is the only one for which we need a fix. I have a work-a-round but we really need a code fix. However, I think you said the api or function or something wrote encoding only as the ini file already exists. Some way to trick it into thinking 'new' is UTF-16, maybe?

Not really that great if for example you want to append text to an existing ANSI file :cool:

Yes a millitimer would be nice! (although it'll take awhile until I stop trying to keep macros cross-version, but the time will come ;-)



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/19/2015 06:15PM by siria.

Tested a bit again with appendfile writing into existing ANSI, UTF8, UTF16 files.
Had thought that it could also write into utf16, but now see that was an error, in direct comparison those utf8 and utf16 chinese signs do look different :cool:
Thinking... could it also write or create kmm files in macros folder? Frankly that would be rather scary...

PS: current millitimer case is to scroll by injectJS after session(Undo).
No prob in 1.5-1.6
In 74 it only works if JS is already enabled and the Undo-Button isn't pressed to quickly...
Since 75 it doesn't seem to work anymore at all, JS on or off, except after a little break.
Have now finally tested in 76 upd2 too, and still the same there. Of course, in upd2 scrolling isn't necessary anymore, but possibly other injected codes may need that split second break too.
Just as millitimer example ;-)

Special for WindowsXP SP2 users (for others can be fun).
For working need a replacement (requires from v.76+)
KERNEL32.DLL from SP3. But this requires booting from
other OS or other boot-device. I wrote small install
script, which save from this. May be useful.
...
Necessary create blank text file and rename as *.inf
(as example: SETUP.inf).
...
Copy this text in file:


[Version]
Signature=$Chicago$

[DefaultInstall]
Copyfiles=COPY
AddReg=ReG

[COPY]
KeRNeL32.DLL,,,8

[DestinationDirs]
ExampleCopyFiles=10,SySTeM32

[ReG]
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SFC","ProgramFilesDir",,"\"


Save it and press right mouse button on this file, select "Install".
Reboot is require. Script replace old dll if SP3 dll lies next
(in the same folder with script).
...
If you are unsure of your actions, do not use this.

Necessary little changes in docinfo.kmm:
(initially)
<html><head><title>

(after)
<html><head><meta charset=utf-8><title>

Or not a possible create right conclusion
to display symbols in title of links after
auto generate links page (or images page).
...
if the language of text in title of links
does not use Latin characters.


I noticed that xpi installation not work anymore : (
if i try install after setup:

"kmeleon.install_firefox_extension" as "true"

and when i try open (in offline as file / open)
xpi file, at first nothing happened... Then there
is a supplement indicator download from network
and so continues infinitely (on about:addons).
...
it works in 75.1 but not works now. XPi the same.

I had to do as on old metod: dismantling extension manually.
Plus what happened.

Do i understand correctly that now will impossible

There are sites (usually it hosting images for forums
and similar) where it is simply catastrophic. Adblock
does not always save (even if write special rules
for ad networks it help an average no more on three days).
...
But suppose necessary to move with disconnected CSS on
a general website, for example, that not need to open
a couple of dozen Spoilers that are already loaded,
but are hidden across styles until you press on them via
JavaScript (onclick event).

I use modified disablecss.kmm, but it works only on one page.

This is a feasible? For example as in seamonkey / firefox in
a view menu (with styles or without). At the level of variable(s)?

There are native prefs for global loading of css and subdocuments and other interesting stuff, I also learned this only recently and was very surprised! The result were my recent macros for toggling global settings: permdefs, priv3buttons, blockeria.

Absolutely great is extension ExExPermissions/ExExceptions, which allows to finetune permission exceptions by site! Only prob is that it's slightly outdated, guess there are more types available now.

And Dorian added in KM75.0 a new addperm-command, assume that customizes the same file "permissions.sqlite" in the profile, but haven't gotten around yet to examine that closer.

Began to study

Crash with URLs using non-Latin characters:
for example, if address is made up of
pure cyrillics (more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.%D1%80%D1%84).
myself not happy with this initiative,
but forced to use them.

If type cyrillic address in address bar and
use ID_NAV_GO get error: address not found.
In this case, address will be garbled.

Need to enter again...
If highlight and hit enter then transition
will happen. But too early to rejoice. If refresh
this page using ID_NAV_FORCE_RELOAD or send
ID_NAV_GO the browser will fall. Sometimes
not a first time. But on second or third this
inevitably. ID_NAV_RELOAD last longer often up
to ten times. However, any other command can
cause to fall. For example, closure of this page.
...
I think this is due to use of ansi when working
with addresses.

Failed prepare a crash report because plugin
unfortunately falls with browser
...
With seamonkey / firefox this fully works. It would
be wonderful if this worked in favorite browser.
