Louis, I couldn't reproduce the problem on my WinXP-32 system with vc8 with locale set to uk english. However, I used the filename on a GeoTiff file. I couldn't identify the .TAB extension. I am not sure that is a problem.
Some of the drivers may not handle non-ascii data but file names should not be a problem. If you don't find any problem at your application side, submit a bug report at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 8:02 PM, Lodewijk Pool <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Chaitanya, > > Yes, this is using the C/C++ API, the functions I am using are declared in > *gdal.h* and *ogrsf_frmts.h* respectively.
