[vlc-devel] Possible Patch -- Use of .mb_str(wxConvUTF8) for wxWidgets

[Mark Moriarty]

Presently the wxwidgets gui is using temporary variables psz_UTF8, and calls
to wxLocaleFree, to change strings to internal UTF8 format.

wxWidgets has a built-in, which lets you directly call a UTF8-converted
version of the string.  Using this removes the need to use wxFromLocale and
wxLocaleFree of psz_UTF8.

Attached is a sample, using modules/gui/wxwidgets/dialogs/open.cpp

I've tried it on extended characters, it appears to work OK.
Thoughts?

Thanks.

Mark
