[ome-users] wrong encoding returned by dumpXML

[Stephen D. Van Hooser]

Hi all -

I'm new to the Open Microscopy effort but it looks really nice, thank you.

It's always dangerous to post a bug as one's first message, but I think there's a bug in dumpXML. I'm using Matlab, but it tells me that the object is loci.formats.ome.OMEXMLMetadataImpl

If I call 

r = bfGetReader('~/Downloads/myfile.lif');
m=r.getMetadataStore();
x = char(m.dumpXML()); % char converts Java string to Matlab character string
str2text('myfilename.xml',x); % my own function that simply writes text files https://github.com/VH-Lab/vhlab-toolbox-matlab.git
s = xml2struct('myfilename.xml')


I get a fatal error because the encoding type described in opening of the xml string in x is UTF-8 but the actual encoding of the document is iso-8859-1. If I edit the x string manually, it can be processed correctly.


Best
Steve
