In OS X, if I double click on a file called "會議報告表格.doc" In the finder, LibreOffice gives me an error message that "/path/to/會議報告表格.doc does not exist." Since most of the office files I'm emailed have Chinese names, this is a critical bug for me.
NOT Reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.3.2 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:202 / tag 3.3.2.2)]". I opened a new WRITER File from File menu, inserted the file name from report, saved as "sample.odt" and "sample.odt" renamed "sample.odt" in WIN Explorer to 會議報告表格.doc (copy / paste from report). My LibO opened "會議報告表格.doc" without problems from File menu (LibO and OS dialog), also from WIN Explorer. Related to OS? I am pretty sure that this one is a DUP of Bug 34808 - Can open files with Japanese characters in file names @kerim: Problem only visible for .doc or also for other documents? Also a problem with Unicode characters in path name? Can you try to contribute additional information to Bug 34808? Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you find evidence that we have an independent issue here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 34808 ***
Yes, this is an ancient bug (at least 3 years) from OO times with OS X and certain locale and language settings. I get the same error when having Japanese characters in the filename. When I run LibreOffice on OS X and my locale is set to English (US) or English (en_GB) I get this bug. Makes it completely unusable for me since I live and work in Japan and have these kinds of files every day. I really dearly hope this bug will finally be fixed. Going back to NeoOffice for now, it does work there…
