| Description | I built a new PC with UK-English Windows 10, and installed Geosetter 3.5.3 (portable) into it. When I try to geotag and save any image which has non-English characters in its name (Å, Ä, Ö for example), I get "Warning: Error opening file" and "Error: File not found" and the image will not be saved. See the attached image.
In thumbnails window the file names with umlauts are shown correctly, but in the error report these are shown as a tilted square with ? inside. Also, in some places the degree symbol ° (Alt-248) is shown as ? as well.
I have set the Windows locale to Finland, and the chcp command in cmd.exe shows the code page is 850 like expected.
I found the IPTC setting and tried ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 instead of default ANSI, but this seems not to have effect on this issue.
For years I used Windows 7 and an older Geosetter 3.3.48 without this issue. I tried that old version again, but it's having the same issue in Windows 10. I also tried the newest Geosetter in a virtual Windows 7 in VirtualBox, and the issue was not present there.
So it may as well be a Windows 10 issue, however I haven't seen this kind of problem in any of my other programs (and some of them are very old).
There is a workaround by geotagging the images before renaming them with any non-English characters.
