Hi,
We are using GDAL in OTB and recently we had a bug report about opening non
ASCII filenames on Windows 10 [0]. They suggest a fix using:
> CPLSetConfigOption("GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8","NO");
The test case is GDALOpen() on a file named 你好.tif, which I confirmed works
fine on Linux, but not on Windows 7 or 10.
So my question is to have some clarification on this option, to know if it's
potentially the correct fix for this problem. The doc says:
> This effectively restores the pre-GDAL1.8 behavior for handling filenames on
> Windows and might be appropriate for applications that treat filenames as
> being in the local encoding.
What does it mean exactly to consider filenames to be in the local encoding? And
how do I know if my application [1] does that?
Cheers,
