------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Jan 30 21:19:12 +0000 2010 ------- Dear all, on my system (Mac OS 10.6.2, , iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, HFS+), I cannot use path names containing characters outside the ASCII range with OpenOffice. This may be related to the issue described in bug report issue no. 92697, but since this is tagged "unconfirmed" and occurred in another OS version, I think that it should be reported. Trying to open a file with a non-ascii character in the path name gives a modal dialog with a "... does not exist" message. This happens if I open the file by double-clicking it in the Finder, or by using "open" from the Terminal, or via the File > Open... dialog. (To reproduce the error, just copy an OpenOffice text or spreadsheet document and rename it, say, "ä.odt" resp. "ä.ods" - the first character is an umlaut a, an a with two dots on it, Unicode 00E4.) Trying to save a file with a non-ascii character (say, umlaut-a again) results in a file "%E4.odt". Trying to open that file in OpenOffice (by double-clicking in the Finder) causes OpenOffice to crash. Surprisingly, though, it is possible to open such a file via File > Recent Documents. In my opinion, this bug is a major show-stopper for OO in non-English speaking communities. Mac users are used to be able to use their native language characters in file and folder names that many of them will not even think about renaming their files and folders and instead consider OO badly broken and unusable. Therefore I think that this needs to be investigated soon.
