    No unicode support

    Sorry bad english

    I begin recently to be fascinated by japanese games, however to install and run japanes games I need to change Unicode setting to Japanese, but, the bad news that my user profile folder is named "Fábio" and because of this latin character, my user profile folder became inaccessible, however, windows 7 is sufficient smart to make a new user folder profile named "Fabio" and then all data from my japanese games are saved in this new folder instead of the old folder with the Latin character.

    All software that I have just run fine, the unique that NOT run fine is irfanview.

    In japanese unicode setting, Infaview insist in to load my preferences from "Fábio" and since this is inaccessible I am forced to use Infaview without my preferences, and is useless to change my preferences, is not saved running on japanese unicode. also, running in japanese unicode any file that have a latin character like "Fábio-picture-001.jpg" is impossible to open. Show a message saying that is a unknow format.

    Of course, when I restart my PC again with brazilian unicode settings, Infaview begin to run 100% fine, load and save my preferences and also open files with latin characters, however, ALL others software that I have run 100% fine on Japanese locale Unicode setting, all of them save and load preferences just fine and even open files with latin character, why just Infaview cannot be like this ?

    exist any way to fix it ?

    In Program Files\IrfanView, there is an ini file (i_view64.ini or i_view32.ini) that only defines the location of the ini file with your preferences. I would edit it to point to a "safe" location outside of your user profile(s). Alternatively, you can run IV in portable mode, again from a safe location (like D:\whatever\IrfanView).

    Have a nice day!
    IrfanView 4.62 64-bit
