Friends, I have taken complete examination and test for this problem, found the following information:
1. Qt 4.4 has fixed several locale related problems, so now lyx is able to handle any files with non-ASCII chars in filename. This is true on Windows XP systems. I do not know the effect on other systems. May someone test it on Linux? 2. Even with Qt 4.4, tex2lyx has problem handling non-ASCII chars in filename. According to MS document, the system default to set the locale as "C", which cannot handle non-ASCII chars in filename. So the fix is quite simple: call setlocale with proper locale string. According to MS document, the string "" (i.e, a 0-length string) implies the system default ANSI codepage. So, the following one line code will fix the problem: setlocale(LC_ALL,""); I have tested on Windows and it works. The attached patch will add this call at proper position. Because setlocale() is a standard C library function, it should be supported under other systems. So it may also fix this problems on other systems like Linux. Could anyone test it? I do not have the environment. As this tiny patch will fix the problem, my old large ugly patch will be dropped for sure. Finally the link to the MS document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d(VS.71).aspx Regards, Hangzai
