Some more testing revealed that the bug happens only with wxWidgets 3.0 (on wxWidgets 2.8 it works, see screenshot 2). This is a bug in the underlying wxWidgets implementation of wxTextInputStream (see http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14720). Implemented a workaround by explicit setting the correct conversion in changeset b0d4a660cf3a.

In this window, if some directory names are not english (they were greek in my case) the non english letters are not readable and some strange symbols appear in their place. ---- unquote I have doublechecked this and afaict the progress window interprets an UTF-8 encoded filename as ISO-8859-1 (Umlaut u ("ü") displayed as ü). See attached screenshot. FWIW I have also tried it the other way round: Start a xterm with env LC_ALL=de_AT (latin1, not UTF-8!), generate a directory with latin1 filename, and point hugin there. Hugin is not able to add images in such a directory ERROR: caught exception: Precondition violation! Unable to open file ''.
