i have been wondering (on luzius changelog files (txt-files)) for some time whats happening with those padded/trailing zero/null at the end of textfiles.
whenever i view for example any textfile in
http://wua.la/Luzius/Documents/Wuala/... and i doubleclick them in the win32 wuala client on win32 (windows xp) my notepad++ (sourceforge project) starts up and displays the file.
but the last several characters of that file are ascii-zero/null... i have also created a very simple test-textfile and tried it myself. the zeros get somehow generated when using doubleclick....
but when i drag the file from wuala to my desktop again and md5sum/bytecompare that dragged text-file with the original textfile (which ofcourse didnt have any trailing/padding zeros) then everything is fine, so no zeros/trails there, the two files are the same size, same content same everything.
what is wrong here? is the doubleclick unrealible? is doubleclicking doing something else on textfiles than a normal download/dragdrop?
thanks and cheers.
