Comment 34 for bug 678808

This bug is in Hugin for a very long time, at least since I started using it 4 years ago. I just tried version 2010.4 RC1 and it fails right at the beginning when using CPFind. The root problem is, that some of the tools that Hugin uses do not support unicode filenames on Windows.

There is a quick a dirty fix which I already suggested - to use short paths. Also the user should be at least warned about the problem, if he tries to open or save such files.

I think that using .bat files on Windows is not a good idea in the first place. Windows shell is really bad and should be avoided if possible.
