UTF characters in the filename(Windows platform)

[lifemanship]

Hello all,

I want to know how to get the name of the document that contains UTF characters.

The current implementation of code:

BSTR l_fileInfoBSTR = NULL;

IActionReference l_docRef( m_photoshop->MakeReference() );
l_docRef.PutProperty( classProperty, keyFileReference );
l_docRef.PutIdentifier( classDocument, l_doc_id );

IActionDescriptor l_docDesc;
m_action_ctrl->GetActionProperty( l_docRef, (IDispatch**)&l_docDesc );

long hasKey = false;
l_docDesc.HasKey( keyFileReference, &hasKey );

if( hasKey )
{
      l_docDesc.GetPath( keyFileReference, &l_fileInfoBSTR );

}

Thanks.

In the C++ world you have to initalize alias to 'utxt' before retreiving the value in order to get the unicode path back. E.g.:

  Handle        pathAlias(reinterpret_cast<Handle>('utxt'));

  sPSActionDescriptor->GetAlias(desc, keyFileReference, pathAlias)

etc

Hello ilvar,

Thank you for your reply, but now the function AliasToFullPath always return 'txtu6' string.

What do you think about it?

On Win platform try skipping first 12 bytes.
