Solved EPS Files with german "umlauten" üäö

[uma]

Hi,

when I open a EPS File with a german Umalut in its Filename, then the EPS could not be opened.
Error:
Ghostscript decode error, the file can't be loaded/decoded.
(C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.07\bin\gsdll32.dll)

The filename ist "test_ä.eps"
If I cange the filename to "test.eps" the EPS will be shown..

I have IrfanView 4.50 an I could not find the option "UNICODE Support" under Options-> languages
All went fine with IrfanView 4.44 - I think there was a option "UNICODE Support" under Options-> languages

Greetings

Maybe a bug in Ghostscript or it needs updating.

After installing this update:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/GPL%20Ghostscript/9.10/gs910w64.exe/download

IrfanView 64-bit now works for me.

Hi,

yes - Ghostscript 9.10 did the trick.
All fine now

Thanks!

No, there is no longer an option under Options > Languages to turn on Unicode support in v4.50 because Unicode is now supported all the time.
The first time you open the Options dialog in 4.50 the file where the settings are stored (i_view32.ini or i_view64.ini) is converted to Unicode and will remain so. If you use "Save filenames as TXT file" in the Slideshow dialog that will be a Unicode file too.
