[Flickrfs-users] Flickrfs and Unicode

[Sebastien Perez-D. <sb...@gm...>]

Hi

Trying Flickrfs with Ubuntu (had first to change the permission on
/usr/bin/fusermount since it did not allow execution as normal user).

Mount is OK

However I get the following error as soon as I start flickrfs.py:
Unhandled exception in thread started by
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "flickrfs-1.1.9/flickrfs.py", line 459, in sets_thread
    self.writeMetaInfo(b['id'], INFO) #Write to a localfile
  File "flickrfs-1.1.9/flickrfs.py", line 407, in writeMetaInfo
    f.write("%s:%s\n"%('description', INFO[3]))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe2' in positio=
n
174: ordinal not in range(128)

Then of my three sets only one of the shows up (all created in Flickr befor=
e
I start flickrfs) and no images can be found inside (not sure if this is th=
e
normal way though).

So in my case we are less than half-way there... hope these bugs can be
fixed, as it seems to be a really cool tool to use in Linux.
