Though see below for a refinement of this point. > I report that my Gretl, gretl 2018a, MS Windows (X86 64) build date > 2018-03-17 appears to have no issue with seeing the file name, or with > opening by directly double clicking files with mixed language filenames as > above and with any of the above extensions, and without Gretl running prior > to the double clicking. > > I have Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks, that's very helpful. I guess you are running Windows in Greek, or at least using the Windows-1253 "code page" which supports both English and Greek characters. The real problem we're working on is not exactly "mixed languages" as such but rather "mixed code pages", that is, file names which include characters that are not represented in the active Windows code page. Examples would be Greek or Cyrillic characters when your code page is set to Western European (CP 1252). I think this is the case for Periklis, who reported the problem. Allin
