GLib and GTK+ use UTF-8 for file names on Windows in their API; all GLib and GTK+ API that accept / return file names (or other strings to / from the system like environment variable names or values) accept / return them in UTF-8. > which was apparently in > some Unicode representation and not the old-style Windows > codepage. Seems like it is the GLib file name encoding then, i.e. UTF-8. It's not correct to use g_locale_to/from_utf8() on such file names. Use g_filename_to/from_utf8(). (Which on Windows is a no-op conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-8, but on Unix might actually do something.) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
