Question & Maybe Feature Request: Multibyte Characters in Filenames

My plugins don't work for Koreans, or other folks that use double-byte characters in their filenames.

Question: Is it possible to write plugins that support double-byte characters in filenames?

If so, how???

If not, well, I request mult-byte character filename support in the SDK.

Rob, the SDK should be expected to work with all of the script systems and languages on which LR ships and, as far as I know, that includes Korean. This sounds like a bug and it is not on my radar. FWIW we map everything to UTF-8 internally and the SDK follows that convention.

Would you please send me an e-mail (scouten@adobe.com) with the following?

* a copy of the plug-in in plain source (i.e. not byte-code compiled if you normally distribute that way)

* what version of Lightroom your users are using (i.e. 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 beta)

* what version of Mac or Windows your users are using

* if Windows, I need to know XP / Vista / 7, 32-bit or 64-bit, and the language of the OS as installed (is it Korean, English, or something else?)

* also, if on Windows, I need to know the file system in use (FAT, NTFS, etc.)

* what specific steps are they trying to perform? (in other words, if I want to see the bug on my computer, what do I have to do?)

The more detailed you can be, the more likely I am to observe the problem and thus be able to fix it.

Thanks!
