New JPEG2000 viewer for HiRISE images Options

[Fran Ontanaya]

Hi.

I've tried the Linux x64 version on Ubuntu 11.10 and works beautifully, with one exception: it doesn't load any path with a folder name that contains non ASCII characters. I.e. "~/imágenes", "~/облики", etc. The error description is "An image could not be obtained from the file."

Thanks for the report Fran. I've passed on the bug to our HiView developer. I believe the QT toolkit libraries HiView is built on top of all support unicode, so it's likely a problem in the hand off from the gui to the backend file loader, I think.

I have one question, and a couple of things that you might try as work-arounds

1) Were you loading the file from the file chooser (from the file->open dialog)?

2) If you were using the chooser, what happens if you drag and drop one of these files from a file manager? (Nautilus or konquerer)

3) What happens if you try loading the file via a terminal prompt? For example, change directories in a terminal window to the directory containing the file that you want to open, and then launch HiView with the file name as an argument. eg.( $ /path/to/HiView/HiView <your_file>)

Hopefully, one of these options will at least get it working for you right now, while we work on fixing the bug.

1. Yes.

2. Same error (with Nautilus).

3. From gnome-terminal (encoding set to UTF-8), no error, loads.

Thanks Fran,

That's useful information.
