Can't open image with special character in the path

[yaurthek]

Hello,

I have noticed an annoying problem with XnView (I use the last version, 1.96.5 in french) :
When i try to open image (from the windows explorer or from the XnView open menu) with special characters in the path, i get an error and nothing else.
The shell extension menu doesn't work either, the image doesn't appear.

For example : characters like ☺ or  (windows explorer shows a smiley and a dot with these examples)


As you can see, windows is able to show the thumbnail image.

Thanks in advance for taking my post in account.

XnView doesn't support unicode, only XnViewMP support unicode

So, it's not a bug, it's a feature ?
Nothing to hope for next releases ?

Next release is here already, but it's still beta only...
