I use gmic from windows command line, and i noticed when the image filename contain cyrillic characters, i get this error [gmic]-0./ *** Error *** Unknown filename
I have to rename the image. Is this a bug?
If someone have a solution for that it will be great !
I also noticed the same error when the cyrillic characters are in the full path of the input, like in my windows user name for example.
But if the cyrillic characters are in the output file, it works fine without any error.
The original Windows console exists primarily for backwards compatibility, UTF-8 did not exist when MS-DOS was written.
Microsoft is working on a new Windows Terminal application that does support UTF-8 and other modern features, unfortunately it is Windows 10 only and not installed by default.
The console character encoding has to be set before launching the gmic process, so the instructions in the above posts are the best method that I know of.
Not an answer, but I use only Latin characters and numbers in filenames. Special/foreign, even Chinese, Japanese, Korean mostly work, but I am never sure they can work on all computers, so I change them.
It’s annoying enough to work with it in MySQL, PHP etc. where there is no workaround.
