Issue with Umaluts

[Zettt]

I'm sorry, but Umlauts are an issue here too. When creating an app with Ü, e.g. Der Übercast, the app gives this error here:

Creation failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/zettt/Desktop/ÜÄÖ.app.23551/Contents.25369/Resources/Scripts/strings.py", line 62, in <module>
    outtext.append(m.group(1) + curname + m.group(4))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xcc in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Let me know if you need additional information.

Info.plist entries like Bundle display name and Bundle name can be changed afterwards and they don't seem to affect the SSB. I haven't tried to change the Bundle Identifier though, that seemed too risky.

I'll look into this. I've managed to get the same error on my system, so that's a start.

Meantime, if you do want to temporarily change the bundle identifier, just make sure to also change it in /Contents/Resources/Scripts.config.sh. (Though in the next release of the app, the bundle identifiers are all going to change, so don't rely on it staying as whatever you've set it.)

No worries, I can deal with those kind of issues.

Hey, I forgot to write back about this. Unicode is totally mysterious to me, but by trial and error I managed to fix it so that I was able to create an SSB with umlauts in the name. This fix will be in the new release too.

I have no idea how robust the solution is, but it's at least not crashing any more! I'll close the issue for now. We can re-open if it seems shaky when the new release is up and you have a chance to test it. Thanks!
