Non-ASCII characters…

One of the longest standing bugs in iPhotoToGallery has been the inability to properly export foreign characters in captions and descriptions. Unfortunately, since Gallery 1 does not use UTF-8 by default, “just use Unicode” was not the right answer.

For Gallery 2 it’s easy - information is by default stored and displayed to the user in UTF-8, so I can just send UTF-8 data and it all works. For Gallery 1 I have to determine what encoding the Gallery installation is using, and send data in that encoding.

If you care about using non-ascii characters, please feel free to test out version 0.62 of the plugin: download. I’ve done my best but I’m sure I haven’t accounted for all possible situations yet. Please let me know if you still run into problems. If so, it would help if you can create a test account for me on your gallery, and send me the text in some of the captions that are failing for you.
