Bulia,

I tested just yesterday with Win98 +latest libs and German umlauts in the filename. So I can confirm the non ASCII-filename-crash

- the dialog shows the file-name with some cryptic characters (this might be UTF8 for the special character) - opening this chrashes Inkscape - I have not found the place where I can put the filename in a inputline - the very latest gdb 6.3 needs an other lib which only exists under WinNT+above.

Update on the open dialog crash: fixed by upgrading to newest libs (thanks Ishmal).

However I run into another problem: Cyrillic filenames crash on open in Win98. I traced this down to

fp = std::fopen(filename, how.c_str());

in io/sys.cpp, line 169. This fails, so fp == NULL.

However, Inkscape::IO::file_test on the same filename works, using g_file_test. So I thought that if I replace std::fopen with g_fopen in the above, it may work. Unfortunately this fails at linking:

libinkscape.a(sys.o):sys.cpp:(.text+0x2a7d): undefined reference to `g_fopen(char const*, char const*)'

Ishmal: is this function missing in your libs? Can you add it?
