Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem. :-( When filenames are latin-1 encoded, they will also be stored in that format in the project file (which causes an error when the project file is opened later). I already tried explicit encoding with codecForLocale()->toUnicode(cstring), but that doesn't work either. Besides that, I found a Big Bad Bug(tm) in Qt: It only consults LANG to determine the character set, not LC_CTYPE & friends. The latter are supposed to override LANG, according to POSIX (it should try LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LANG, in that order, and fall back to the "C" locale only if none of the variables is set). -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
