How does the RTL support using unicode filenames (e.g. file names that
cannot be represented by the ansi char set)?
For example the FileExists function takes a string which is encoded in the
system char set. If the system char set is UTF8, like most linuxes and Mac
OS X, then there is no problem. But on windows using a western european
charset, I cannot check for existence of a file with cyrilic characters,
even though I can enter them in the windows explorer and create such files.
In fpGUI we use UTF-8 for everything. We have wrapper file access
functions which replaces the RTL ones. The unit is called
gfx_utils.pas
eg:
Windows GDI:
-------
function fpgToOSEncoding(aString: TfpgString): string;
begin
Result := Utf8ToAnsi(aString);
end;
I see you are crippled in the same way as the LCL, because you only can
handle ansi filenames correctly.
