Created attachment 106396 [details] Screenshot of the error I'm getting Repro steps : - Have a project, anything will do. - Open the render dialog. - Give a filename inside an existing directory with Japanese characters in it. - In the name for the target file, use a file name with Japanese characters, e.g. "/tmp/テスト/a.mp4". - Try to render. Expected : File renders as usual to the filename. Actual : Error on opening the target file : Cannot write to <filename>, check permissions. Note that in the error, the Japanese characters are replaced with question marks. Screenshot attached. Additional notes : ・ The system locale is correctly configured. en_US.UTF-8 everywhere since install, ext4 filesystem, and filenames in Japanese are rather common on my machine and working in every application, including KDE apps (and including kdenlive for anything else than rendering, e.g. it has no problem adding such a file as a source clip to the project bin).
Oh and of course I have permissions to read/write/traverse this directory. Whether an existing (writable) file exists there also makes no difference.
Do you still encounter this problem?
No I don't. I just tried and now it works as expected. I'm using it on the same machine I used to, and the version is still listed as 16.12.2. I have no idea what changed :/ Anyway, thank you.
