LaunchWebBrowser() requires ToSystemCharset() to work properly [message #35405]

Hi,

I just noticed on Windows 7 that Calling LaunchWebBrowser() requires the url String (including rare characters) to be converted to system charset with ToSystemCharset() before calling:

		LaunchWebBrowser(ToSystemCharset(Format("%s%s",directory,file)));

Is this the intention? I can live with this now that I know it, but would seem more logical to embed the conversion within the LaunchWebBrowser() function. I did not try it on Linux yet to see how it reacts.

Best regards,

Tom

For some reason, on Kubuntu Linux it works both with and without ToSystemCharset(). Maybe the LaunchWebBrowser() (the Windows part) in Core/App.cpp could be changed to do ToSystemCharset() internally to make the usage more streamlined.

Best regards,

Tom
