* Org Mobile Setting and file encoding @ 2010-11-23 17:54 Chao LU 2010-11-23 19:33 ` Joost Helberg 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Chao LU @ 2010-11-23 17:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1099 bytes --] Dear list, I'm trying to set up Mobile Org, but there's some problem, All my org files are placed in in ~/My Dropbox/org/org, as following: ----- (defvar org-dir (concat Dropbox "/org") "org dir") (defvar org-source-dir (concat Dropbox "/org/org") "org source dir") (defvar pub-html-dir (concat Dropbox "/org/public_html") "html dir") (defvar org-mobile-dir (concat Dropbox "/MobileOrg") "org mobile dir") Then I set Mobile Org like this: (setq org-mobile-directory org-source-dir) (setq org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items nil) (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull (concat org-source-dir "/mobile.org")) After org-mobile-push command, the agenda is generated, but in Mobile Org, it could not be opened, and the error message is bad file encoding, unable to detect file encoding, please re-save this file using UTF-8. So how could I figure out what the file encoding of my org files, and if not, how to convert them (there's quite a bit) to UTF-8, and in the future how to save the files automatically to UTF-8 with the Chinese support? The coding system is really confusing, thanks a lot!!

The cause of your problem can be many things: - the file is incorrectly recognised as encrypted - the file is incorrectly recognised as not-encrypted - the encoding is not utf-8 and there are offending bytes - the parsing of the index file fails somehow To make sure utf-8 is all you do, evaluate (in .emacs e.g.): (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) Furthermore, make sure you try everything not encrypted. Also, this helped with me, don't run the latest git org-mode against production release mobileorg. Somehow my mobileorg on iphone failed on the first lines of the index file. mobileorg on Android didn't fail however. Good luck!
