Locale issues in PanoramaFactory 4.5

    • ROS 0.4.6 (with German language) in VirtualBox 5.1.22 on Win7 host. Only experimental 3D graphics and sound driver installed beforehand.

    Description

      Tested PanoramaFactory 4.5 Legacy edition (and m32 edition) (demo available here from this page), a panorama stitching software available in several languages.

      If I select "German" during the initial startup after installation, a series of error dialogs comes up, saying "You have selected a language whose code page does not match the system code page." and "You have selected a language that identifies an unknown locale".

      Then there are some errors which indicate that localized texts are received in a wrong format - in quotes when they should not be quoted. Look at the final application screen - all German texts have double quotes around the text, which is likely also the cause for the fourth error dialog about writing a help file (You cannot put text with quotation marks in a filename, so it fails.) The mentioned log file is attached, but likely doesn't help much.

      The application itself displays two squares after every German text. Using "Extras" -> "Reset to English" resolves the problem.


      P.S. The application as major other issues, basically it freezes when setting control points and when it actually starts stitching images, but this is covered in CORE-13765.

      P.P.S. Of course there were no locale issues with PanoramaFactory 4.5 on a real WinXP.
