Dear Allin:
I noticed that the interface for opening user files has been changed
recently in the cvs version for Windows (my installed version was built on
2009-04-11).
However, I found this new interface through [File/Open data/User file]
caused an error:
"No such file or directory"
when my *.gdt is placed under a directory named with "Chinese" characters as
well as a *.gdt file named by a Chinese filename. It is surprising because I
did not recall any kind of this error with filenames or directories in
Chinese before.
So, I went back to test the previous officially released version 1.8.0. The
interface of opening user files in that version do work fine with filenames
or directories in Chinese.
I returned to the CVS version (built on 2009-04-11) to test other open files
functions, such as script files/session files with filenames or directories
in Chinese. No error occurs.
Do you have any clue about this error?
Thanks

I've just put up a new snapshot which I hope might fix this.

Dear Allin
Thanks for you quick response.
However, I just downloaded the CVS for windows minutes ago and the error was
still there.
Please let me know how can I help.

Thanks for the report. Can you tell me, does the "No such file or
directory" error message appear as soon as you open the dialog (in
which case it must have an invalid version of the name of the
default folder to look into), or does it come after you select a
file and try to open it?
One other thing you might try: create a program icon for gretl and
under the "properties", specify the program as
gretlw32.exe --debug
This will open a Windows console when you start gretl and there
could be some relevant information written there.

I suppose the new changes (gretl_install.exe build 2009-04-23) had
introduced an error in opening accented sessions (.gretl) and script (.in)
file names in Portuguese.
Best,
Henrique

New subject: An error occurs when I open a *.gdt under a none-ASCII named directory
I just tested the CVS (buil on 2009-04-23). It now can open a file with
Chinese name and under a Chinese subdirectory without errors.
However, I encounter another error. When I use [File/Open Data] and choose a
"recently" opened file. An error occurs (both with Chinese name and under a
Chinese subdirectory). It reports that
"Couldn't open file C:/.../coeffs1.gdt"
(As shown in the attached PDF)
After several testings, It is obvious the gretl mis-specifies the path when
there are some Chinese characters in the subdirectory as well in filenames.
I also found this error only occured when I quit gretl and restart it again.
That is, I can open and re-open (choosing from recently opened files list)
the file with Chinese names or under a path with Chinese name without any
problems if I did not quit gretl.
I also attached a debug information as follows (it seems not helpful since
there is no further debug output when this kind of error is encountered)

Second try: I hope this should be fixed now.

Thanks for your patience. I've just put up another snapshot which

I should perhaps explain what's going on with the change in the
file selection dialog in gretl.
Up till recently we've been using a "native" Windows file selector
for gretl on Windows. This policy dates back to a time when the
GTK file selection dialog was totally different from the Windows
one, and would have been a jarring experience for Windows users.
Nowadays, however, the GTK file selector looks broadly similar to
the Windows one (but has some nice functionality of its own) and I
decided to standardize on using the GTK file dialog for all
platforms.
Clearly, this has brought some temporary problems with filename
encodings, but hopefully we'll get this sorted out soon.

Dear Allin
Thanks, I just install the CVS for Windows and confirm that the previous
error regarding opening files with Chinese names now work fine.
However, another (maybe similiar reasons) problem occurs when I tried to
save the session files. This time, I tried english filenames as well as
Chinese filenames . Both do not work. The error message says:
.my_session\session.xml: No such file or directory

OK, good to hear that.

.my_session\session.xml: No such file or directory
I'll look into that.
