Hi, Perhaps the key is in the message "to current locale." When I have seen something similar on Windows and when using my default code page 850, changing the code page into 65001 (UTF-8) has often helped. But I have never met UTF-16BE data.

VSIARCH: Opening arch.rar VSIARCH: Pathname cannot be converted from UTF-16BE to current locale. ERROR 4: `/vsirar/arch.rar' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognized as a supported dataset name. gdalinfo failed - unable to open '/vsirar/arch.rar'. It seems the issue is related to the non-Latin filenames in the archive. Using unrar, I can extract the files and list them without any problem. Is there any workaround to make GDAL handle such RAR archives correctly? Thank you! _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
