I use Fedora Core 1 with russian locale ru_RU.koi8r. When I saved file (SaveAs) with russian letters in filename I have some problems.
1. I don't see filename in header of program. 2. When I closed inkscape and start it again I have message
/home/oau/.inkscape/preferences.xml either is not valid xml file or you do not have read premissions on it. Although inkscape will run, you are neither able to load nor save preferences.
I viewed filename.svg and preferences.xml files and I found what Inkscape write some attributes in tags in koi8r locale, non utf-8.
Example
filename.svg
tag <svg ... sodipodi:docname - koi8r locale sodipodi:docbase - koi8r locale
preferences.xml
tag <document ... uri - koi8r locale name - koi8r locale
It's wrong.
