Yes this is a known bug and workaround, but thanks anyway. I suppose the source could be adapted to use the short path name (8.3 format) when calling external tools which fail on the unicode paths. To my knowledge, these won't contain unreadable symbols (although spaces can occur technically). I checked this by making a folder named Vysočina. When dir/x is typed in a cmd window, it shows the following:
C:\temp>dir /x [...] 15-12-2008 14:30 <DIR> VYSOIN~1 Vysočina So, this Vysočina folder can also accessed by using VYSOIN~1 instead. The win32 c++ function to use is GetShortPathName which is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364989(VS.85).aspx --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
