------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 27 12:57:24 +0000 2007 ------- I agree with the fact the encoding is inconsistent with the locale setting, this is exactly my point in fact. However, I think it is important to handle this case transparently. The real life situation in which I encountered the case (several times) is when I receive files created by co-workers (well, mainly my boss) on their system in order to provide some content and send it back to them. The file name may seem strange according to *my* system, but it is neither forbidden by Unix file naming rules (as long as some special characters are avoided) nor impossible to handle with other applications (mail, shell commands, browsers ...). I said in my first post OOo tries to be too smart here. The file selection widget succeed in handling the name as it can (sometimes) put it in the selectable list and it allows the user to click on it. However once this has been done and once the name is provided to some other part of the code which will open it, it seems some sort re-encoding or normalization layer is traversed and a different name is provided to the "open" system call, which fails because the re-encoded name does not correspond to any existing file. So I see a file on a widget, click on it, and OOo says "no such file or directory". This is a real problem, regardless of the fact the name is badly chosen or inconsistent with local. It is a valid name for the operating system and it should not be transformed. I understand such transcoding layers are interesting for display purposes, for example to show a human readable version of the name in the selection widget, I don't agree with a transcoding being inserting between the selection and the opening of the file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
