Sometimes when we use IrfanView, we cannot open a file if the name is in a foreign character say than our Operative system is. For example we cannot open a file with a chinese name under an spanish environment, and we cannot open a filename with an ñ in the chinese environment but we can open and thumbnail any image with chinese name in the chinese environment.
Why we cannot open such files, even being able to open them in different circumstances?
I remember winamp cannot open files in same situations, I don't know what they did, but now it works. I think its not necessary to reprogram the program itself, it's just the way it communicates with the system, because, if we can open files with names in chinese characters under a chinese environment it is because irfanview CAN deal with such chinese-charactered names.
