[Gretl-users] An error occurs when I open a *.gdt under a none-ASCII named directory

[yinung at Gmail]

Dear Allin:

I noticed that the interface for opening user files has been changed
recently in the cvs version for Windows (my installed version was built on
2009-04-11).

However, I found this new interface through [File/Open data/User file]
caused an error:

"No such file or directory"

when my *.gdt is placed under a directory named with "Chinese" characters as
well as a *.gdt file named by a Chinese filename. It is surprising because I
did not recall any kind of this error with filenames or directories in
Chinese before.

So, I went back to test the previous officially released version 1.8.0. The
interface of opening user files in that version do work fine with filenames
or directories in Chinese.

I returned to the CVS version (built on 2009-04-11) to test other open files
functions, such as script files/session files with filenames or directories
in Chinese. No error occurs.

Do you have any clue about this error?

Thanks
