File with chinese characters in filename undeletable

[rehtor]

I'm using TC 7.03 and I've got a file which can't be deleted by Total Commander.
The filename is. asdf.专辑.rar

Deleting the two characters makes the file deletable. Deleting the file with original filename in Windows Explorer works also.

When I try to delete it, this error message pops up:
Error: c:\temp\asdf~1.rar cannot be deleted!

Please remove the write protection!

This message appears with admin privileges too.

Unicode name is a reason. Total Commander will support it in next version 7.5.

I don't have any problems to delete this file here. TC 7.03 deletes it via its short DOS name asdf~1.rar without any problems.

Maybe the file was locked when you tried to delete it? Or was it on a remote drive like Novell Network which has problems with short DOS names?

Anyway, TC 7.5 will delete such files via their Unicode names.

Thanks for the replies.

Hm, the file can't be locked, because I can rename it (deleting both characters and deletion succeeds). Above from that it is on a local drive, formated with NTFS.

(I'm running Vista Ultimate)

Okay, waiting for 7.5 then ...

I'd like to contradict here. Using Win2k/XP you can try this with the TOTALCMD.EXE that is currently running:
you can rename it without a problem, but can't delete it.

Ok, I was wrong. Well, I will check with Sysinternal's Process Monitor if another process is locking the file.

No Chinese user here to test this?

No that I am Chinese, nor do I understand Chinese, yet:

Created the file "%temp%\asdf.专辑.rar" without any problem, using T.C. 7.50 PB3.
Selected the file "%temp%\asdf.专辑.rar" and pressed DEL. Confirmed the dialogue box. The file was moved to the recycle bin.

+ Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit, ger
+ Total Commander 7.50 PB3 (and above)

OK, thanks - I will move it to "fixed" for now.
