Hello all

I have found a problem when reading international file names. In these cases the icon is not readed.

Searching around I have found that the struct FileIconMaker has a member declared String file. If the file name has non english characters the function virtual Image Make() does not work.

To solve it I simply change this in FileSel.cpp:

for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
     SHFILEINFO info;
     SHGetFileInfo(file, dir ? FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY : FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, &info, sizeof(info),

with this;

WString wfile = file.ToWString();
for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
     SHFILEINFOW info;
     SHGetFileInfo(wfile, dir ? FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY : FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, &info, sizeof(info),

and it works.

Best regards

Well, first I have applied this patch, but I am afraid this would not work with Win98.

Could you try this first?

		for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
			SHFILEINFO info;
			SHGetFileInfo(ToSystemCharset(file), dir ? FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY : FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
			              &info, sizeof(info),
			              SHGFI_ICON|SHGFI_SMALLICON|(exe ? 0 : SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES));

Hello luzr

I have tried both in XP and:

- The option with SHFILEINFO and ToSystemCharset(file) works well with a folder named "Ñandú", but it does not with another named "印经济" (sorry, this is chinese and I do not have any idea about its meaning...)

- The other one with SHFILEINFOW does work in both cases.

BTW, in what sense exactly it "does not work"?

AFAIK, for the most part, only the file extension matters. The exception to this rule is .exe and .ico files.

Hello luzr

I mean that it gets or not the folder icon. With SHFILEINFOW seems to always take the right folder icon, but with SHFILEINFO not.

Perhaps if somebody with "non european" charset may test it, it would be better as I am using an XP system with "european" charset and my system perhaps is not working properly with the chinese charset.

Hello luzr

I have seen that with the last version with SHFILEINFO the right icon of a file called "印经济" can be readed, but if instead, "印经济" is a folder, the folder icon can be got with GetFileIcon(path, true), but not with GetFileIcon(path, true, true) as it is in the sources.

I thought that a solution would be changing NativePathIcon to something like:
#if defined(PLATFORM_WIN32)
	if (IsDrive(path) && IsSpecialFolder(path))
		return GetFileIcon(path, true, true);
	else
		return GetFileIcon(path, folder);
#endif

where IsSpecialFolder(path) would be true in folders with icons like Desktop but, if I where in Taiwan, could I get the taiwanese Desktop icon ?

This is not unlikely. In CJK environment, folder names are encoded using MBCS (I mean, if you do not use SHFILEINFOW). ToSystemCharset performs necessarry conversions.

I do not quite understand this Smile Is this tested? Should I replace the current code?

Of course, there are always two correct solutions:

- introduce another .dli and call W or A variant based on system (W in WinNT)

- finally trash Win98....

I would really be happy to finally end support for Win98. Unfortunately, there was still demand for it, believe or not.

Well... perhaps I have gone too far

I have tested the code with this but it would be better if somebody
from Greece, China, etc could test it and give us their opinion.

index.php?t=getfile&id=1457&private=0

If not I think that the source is enough ok!

Well, really...

Originally we were not loading any icons from host. And getting these icons was really meant only for fileselector...

Is that really such trouble if FileSel displays generic folder icon in some cases where there is non-generic variant?

That said, I believe this should really be fixed. But maybe we can finally drop Win98 support this year (10 years is enough, is not it? Smile and the problem will be solved without much effort...
