International characters in file name not supported

Support for filenames with international characters
Can you support loading of files names with international characters? I've always had an error while opening these files.
Re: Support for filenames with international characters
XnView MP supports Unicode characters as does XnConvert for batch processing, but realistically it unlikely that support will ever be added to XnView Classic: if it could be added easily Pierre would likely have added it already...Ryrynz wrote:Can you support loading of files names with international characters?

Re: Support for filenames with international characters
Surely this isn't hard to implement. No other image application I've used has this issue.
For example I have a directory named スタッフ
And inside this is a file named 1.jpg.
If I try loading it I get Error opening file \????\1.jpg
Think I'll post it as a bug.

Re: International characters in file name not supported
I have the same problem with Hebrew folder name and Windows 10. Windows 7 had no issue.
Update: found the solution for Windows 10:
Change the default Language for non-Unicode programs to the desired language (Hebrew in my case).
Thanks.

Re: International characters in file name not supported
Eventhough you may open files with Unicode chars after doing proper regional setting for non-Unicode programs, the filenames appear garbled and the file names appear incorrectly encoded on the title bar and navigation tab of XnView Classic viewer. This problem is only present with Windows 11, see my last post here:XnTriq wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2016 10:45 amYes.Suncatcher wrote:Is it so much effort to add the support to regular version?only XnViewMP has unicode support

I never had this issue on Windows 7 for example.
Re: International characters in file name not supported
A limitation no doubt, but do you have a reason for not moving to XnView MP now? Full Unicode support, the editing functions are now very mature, the browser image management functions exceed those in 'Classic and are under continuing development. And also available in 64-bit versions.
But also some issues with Windows 11 due to Microsoft's continuous changes...
