Hi Hans,
I found an article mentioning that _wopen() is deprecated..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z0kc8e3z%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
Well, the reason I thought of doing a quick search on this was that I
recall Microsoft C/C++ functions beginning with underscores recommended
to be called with substitute macros to keep the code portable between
architectures, but that is according to my rusted memory..

I am pretty sure I found the root cause of it. Windows uses UCS-2 as its
character encoding, but Pd is all UTF-8 internally. Tcl is also all UTF-8, so
that works nicely. I believe that GNU/Linux and Mac OS X use UTF-8 for
filenames as well.
It looks like the solution is converting the filenames from UTF-8 to UCS-2
(16-bit wchar_t) whenever there is an open() call, and using _wopen() instead.

Hi Hans
I probably have nothing useful to add, but just last week I got a report
from someone using a patch of mine on Windows, experiencing troubles
with opening certain sound files. It turned out, that it was also
related to non-ASCII characters in the name of those files. Pd didn't
crash, though, but the sound files didn't load. I hadn't have the
opportunity to look at it myself yet (no access to a win comp), but I'm
glad to see it confirmed. I'd be happy to see it fixed, though probably
my only contribution would be limited to testing.

There is a problem on Windows that has me stumped. If you open a file with a non-ASCII
character in the name or path using "pd -open" it works fine. If you open it
using File -> Open, then it freezes Pd. If you print the filename to the Pd window right
before its sent to Pd, it prints properly:
C:/Documents and Settings/pd/Desktop/comma,coüüümma.pd
But running "pd.com -d 3" shows:
pd open comma\,co├╝├╝├╝mma.pd C:/Documents\ and\ Settings/pd/Desktop;
open: C:/Documents and Settings/pd/Desktop/comma,co├╝├╝├╝mma.pd: No such file
or directory
comma,co├╝├╝├╝mma.pd: No such file or directory
So somewhere in the network receiving the unicode is going wrong, but only on
Windows. Its a bad bug for anyone who uses non-ASCII letters on Windows. Any
ideas?
