I have lines like
p add the files to playd (TEMP)
playd put_end prepend %s
in my menu file. Now I noticed I get a "cannot execute binary file"
error message when the file name contains non-ASCII characters. Looking
at the temporary file named in the error message, I saw that the #! line
was missing. And really, adding a #!/bin/sh line worked:
p add the files to playd (TEMP)
#!/bin/sh
playd put_end prepend %s
So what I first thought was that I misread the documentation. But even the
examples don't contain the shebang line. So I see two possible ways to fix
this bug:
a) document it and correct the examples
b) add a "correct" shebang line (#!$SHELL? #!/bin/sh? User-defined setting?)
in these temporary files
