Pmview 3.12 And File Names In Unicode Options

[Guest_hare_*]

There is a problem to open Tiff (or Jpeg) file having some symbols from some European languages (such as O with dots, or A with dots). The program reports usupported file format. If to rename the file, everything works well. I did not find the solution in Preferences or somewhere else. Is it possible to correct?

This is a known problem with some versions of Microsoft Windows. The problem is with the operating system, and occurs with most application programs. The solution is to rename the files. (The common DOS rule still applies: Only use US characters in the range 32-127).

Thanks,

Thanks for your kind reply. It seems to be strange, because Photoshop sees and opens such files with no problem. But PMView does not see them at all.
Generally you are absolutely right about DOS rule but it is interesting to solve the problem not to pass it around.

Hmm.. The problem I was referring to was such that even Windows itself could not open the file.

I just tried renaming a file to "L'image à côté de moi.jpg". PMView sees it, and opens it just fine. "Scandinaver ÅÄÖåäö.jpg" also works just great...

Could you please give an example of a file name that PMView cannot open?

Thanks,
