Fİle Converter Wizard -1

Hi,

First of all i must say this is a Turkish locale spesific error. We have two letters; I and i in contrast; in English I is capital i is lowercase.

In Linux systems, if the system language is Turkish and the username is containing  "i"  like my name "zeki" LibreOffice wizards and extensions which are based on Basic and requires a file path, simply does not work and gives runtime errors.

and as shown points the following line:

bIsTemplatePath = FieldInList("vor", sFileContent)

I'am attaching two screenshots from he file converter wizard.

As you may see the paths contain my username zeki, thus Basic somehow gets a runtime error.

When i've created a new user like, zeklo, everything is fine.

I'm not sure if we can find a solution in LibreOffice side, or may be solved by other upstream. 

Best regards,
Zeki

Hi,
> Zeki: could you translate the error message of the popup?

First popup says "Sorry, Filesystem Problem"
and the second popup in front of LibreOffice Macros&Dialogs.ImportWizard is: "BASIC runtime error.
Sub-procedure or function procedure not defined."

Such a bug, if it was confirmed, can't block a new release.

Hi, yes it is still reproducable.

No it's abuot a well known Turkish locale issue  "I" is not "i" in Turkish. This issue has been experienced in many software projects for example: 
- http://haacked.com/archive/2012/07/05/turkish-i-problem-and-why-you-should-care.aspx/ 
- http://mattryall.net/blog/2009/02/the-infamous-turkish-locale-bug
- http://java.sys-con.com/node/46241 

> Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please

> WORKSFORME.

I'll set it to unconfirmed and i am waiting for an l10n master to confim and fix.

Best regards,

FieldInList uses "equals" method, see http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vbahelper/source/vbahelper/vbahelper.cxx#534

Andras: one for you? Last links provided by Zeki show indeed a real point to deal with Turkish locale.
Comment 11 Matthew Francis 2015-03-24 13:53:51 UTC 
I can confirm this, so setting to NEW

To reproduce, it's enough to install system Turkish language support, "export LC_ALL=tr_TR.utf8" in a terminal and run soffice. Neither changing the system/user locale as a whole nor using a Turkish language pack in LO are required

Hi,

  This fix is not mentioned in 5.0 release notes. There seems to be no 4.5 release. So, in what version the fix will be available?

Thanks,
Emel

5.0 is the new version number for 4.5. So the fix should be in LO 5.0. You can verify that by testing the first beta of LO 5.0. You can found it here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases

Please, could you confirm that the bug is fixed in the 5.0 beta1?

Hi,

Thank you for your fix and sorry for being late. I can confirm that the problem is solved if you reach the wizard through:

1- Start Center, and
2- In a file for example you've opened test.odt(where the filename does not include "ı") file and clicked File - Wizards - Document converter.

I can reproduce this error in 
a- Opening a file like adsız1 (or whatever contains "ı") then clicking to File - Wizards - Document converter. 

Ouput:
1- Sorry, Filesystem Problem 
2- Inadmissible value or data type.
Index out of defined range.
3- GetFilterName = sLocFilterList(b) --- this is the highlighted string

Should i open a new bug report? 
Best regards,
Zeki

Let's consider this one as FIXED.
If you reproduce the almost same problem with last stable LO version (5.1.4), indeed, it could be useful you submit a new bugtracker.
It'll be easier to manage it.
