Hi Trevor,

Aha!
Now the big question: Bug or feature?
If bug: Rev or OS X bug?

It isn't necessarily a bug. Revolution uses the old method of opening files with the QuickTime API which uses the FSSpec. This has file name as well as path name length limitations (255 for the full path). As of QT 6.4 (I think) QuickTime added new calls that open movies that can have unicode names, etc.

Thanks for this info!

Eventually Rev needs to add support for using the newer calls when QuickTime supports it.

Sounds like an EXCELLENT idea!

BTW, are the problems with Umlauts and accents in filenames COMPLETELY gone now on OS X?
Any info is very appreciated.

This one does sound very interesting, too :-)
