Special characters in filename

[mandm]

I have a pl/sql developer instance. I want to save a file with Hungarian national character in filename, such as 'ő' or 'ű'. But the saved file name contains 'o' or 'u' instead of original characters.

When I want to open a file wich name contains characters such as 'ő' or 'ű', then it causes error (Cannot find the file).

I have another pl/sql developer instance on the other machine, and working properly.

I compared the two configurations and didn't find the solution. (Both windows are Win7, 64bit, Hungarian. Both pl/sql developer are 10.0.4.1708)

Any idea?

Can you go to the Windows Control Panel, click on "Region and Language", go to the "Administrative" tab page, and check what the language for non-Unicode programs is on both configurations?

It's working!

Thank You!

That would imply that PL/SQL Developer is not a Unicode program. If it is, then why?

I would like to support this question.
I have a fresh Windows install since recently, but this issue still bothers me (from time to time, probability of the error is 10..20%)

Only for file names, which are passed in ANSI format.

In that case again: Why? Where they are passed to/from?

 

[Marco Kalter]

From the file save dialog to the file save function. It all uses ANSI character strings.

Windows API functions invoking Open/Save file windows (GetOpenFileName/GetSaveFileName) do exist in Unicode version (GetOpenFileNameW/GetSaveFileNameW).
