Description sarevokphd 2010-06-25 18:24:21 UTC 
I can't open files whose names or the path leading to that file contain non 
ASCII characters such as accents.

If I try to do so i get an error message saying the file does not exists. If, 
from OO preferences I set "use OO dialog windows" then i can open those files 
from menu File->Open (anyway accented letters are not displayed properly in OO 
file browser, for example the letter è is displayed A^), but when i save it 
back, the resulting file name contains escape sequences for non ASCII 
characters (e.g. Università.odt -> Universit%E0.odt). I have tryed the same 
version of OO in a Windows XP and a Fedora 10 machine and it works fine in 
both... it looks like it is just an issue with MacOS...

I'm using the lastest version of OO (3.2.1) under MacOS 10.6.4. I've queried 
the issue database and I fount this problem was already issued in 2005 and 
marked as solved but now it seems to be appeared again.

DUP of Issue 105047?
Comment 2 sarevokphd 2010-06-25 22:52:26 UTC 
Yes, it seems to be the same problem. I'm sorry but when I queried the DB looking for this issue I didn't 
find that. I didn't mean to post a duplicate.

So the issue is known, I hope it will be fixed soon.
Comment 3 sarevokphd 2010-06-25 23:32:37 UTC 
Got it! The problem seems to be related to system locale settings.

Until now i used Great Britain as locale and OO didn't open files with non ASCII names, but changing it to 
Italy solved the problem. Seems to work with US locale too. So there are problems with certain locale 
settings (the MacOS system locale, changing locale in OO preferences has no effect on this issue), even if it 
is strange cos even with GB locale there are no problems with NeoOffice or MS Office for Mac.
