Strange caracters when exporting

[mfilmofil]

Hi, first of all
I love your program, it's amazing.
I made a list of owned videos, some 720 videos I own.
Now when I export to a txt file, I noticed a lot of strange characters in it.
Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Hi, first of all

Thank you very much!

when I export to a txt file, I noticed a lot of strange characters in it.

I think it's not a problem with the text file itself, but with the text editor that you use to read it.

The text editor must be able to read characters encoded with UTF8. If your text editor is setup to read UTF8, the file will look ok.

What program did you use? Notepad?

[mfilmofil]

Yes I use notepad.

Notepad is too basic to handle unicode characters.

You should use Wordpad instead.

Or you could install Notepad++ which is excellent and free.

Will try with Notepad++, because Wordpad produce same result.

Thanks for help

[(cool) Hector]

Nope

The problem doesn't happen on my computer. I've asked mfilmofil if the problem also happened with the online publishing, but I got no answer...

Kakashi, how is it your computer? Do you have this bug?

[kakashi]

No Windows or Mac

I accidentally formatted my windows drive while pulling an all nighter some time ago. I havent found the time to re-install.

It's Ubuntu only for me now

No Windows or Mac

It's Ubuntu only for me now

No more Coollector? or Coollector with Wine?

[kakashi]

I don't know how to use wine. I haven't even played any games etc. It's been school all the way.

I'n actually in the middle of sending you an email now btw...

It's been school all the way.

Maybe it's not a bad thing

Same for me.No problem found.

I have a suggestion for "mfilmofil".Just allow this file "Reset Notepad Default" and I hope it will fix all your notepad issues.

I have no news from mfilmofil, but he told me that he had the same problem with Wordpad and with Notepad++. He has sent me the txt file, and I could see the problem even on my computer.
