Error with Irfanview

[Schultheis]

I have a silly error with the Beta 5, which doesn't occur with 7.04a: I've gotten a Chinese rar file. If I unpack it with winrar or 7zip, there are nonprintable directory names. If I start Irfanview with a doubleclick on a file within such a directory, there is an error stating Irfanview cannot read the header. The directory names are displayed with 4 question marks.

With TC 7.04a it works. If I unpack the file with TC 7.50 B5 it's OK, too.

I can upload the file if desired.

Grüße,
Burkhard

Does this file work from other file managers? Try to check in explorer.

I think this is IrfanView problem not TC.

AFAIK Irfan does not work properly with Unicode named files. It can open them from File -> Open menu using some plugin but not directly by double click.

In Windows explorer it does not work, too, but, as I said, in TC 7.04a. TC 7.04a and Irfanview show this path:
D:\tmp\23E7~1\23E7~1\23E7~1\23E7~1\DSC00772.JPG

OK, seems to be an error in Irfanview, but on the first glance it looks like an error in the new TC.

Try a button with cm_SwitchLongNames switch, it turns off long names temporarily. Then you can enter Unicode paths by their DOS name and open the files in Irfanview.
