"to get the character 'å' at the command prompt, hold down the left ALT and type 134 on the numeric keypad" Unfortunelly with alt and 134 i get greek Η. I tried others codes but i got only english and greek characters and of course symbols and special char. This happens with DC++ because it is the only sourse to get files from languages like these. If i had other sourse i guess that i had the same problem. But in other forums and sites they were talking for image viewers that are not unicode supporting as i mentioned in table in my previous post. The issue with dos might be because of greek windows. Are dos unicode? Maybe it isnt. It has codepage 737 if i remember good and i think that's all. thanks matrix1 ps. with greek H insteed of "å" the file is opened at non unicode supporting viewers. Note:!!! To write å i use copy-paste. So i made copy-paste at dos prompt and the "å" came up as "?"!!!!. So i think dos is not unicode supporting neither.

I tried other user it is the same. With greek filenames/characters everything is ok. "Does it make any difference if you have Greek or English selected in the language bar?" No It is just non unicode supporting programs. Just downloaded an image viewer with unicode support and it works fine. It's not so good as acdsee or FastStone Image Viewer but it handles unicode filenames perfect. Vallen Freeware , Vallen "JPegger"

Thanks for the reply i tried what you said but the filename appears under the dos promt as "RNG~1.JPG" and the full name looks like "r?ng.jpg"!! (strange this or not? but even in ms word i can open the image) I tried the command line and the image cant be open this way too. I have stantard windows explorer Thank u very much for the concerning

as i found on a table about the unicode support: Author Name & version Unicode Support ACDSee 7 No IrfanView 3.92 No Photo Commander 3.5 yes so lets find this software...

No m8, neither IrfanView, XnView, FastStone Image Viewer, cam2pc - Image Browser are working... New versions all downloaded this morning... All non windows apps are not seeing them as they are. I have greek windows and greek settings. Languages greek and us english. The filenames are long (about what you said about 8.3).

no they are not unfinised. The files can be open by Paint or any windows browser.

Hello to everyone on this forum! This is my first post here! Just downloaded some files from dc++ to my pc and I have this problem: I have xp sp2 greek pro. The folders / file name that has some special characters of languages like czech or finnish or swedish can't be open and view (if are jpg for example) at acdsee or any other image browser/viewer i have tried! The folders and files are well browsing by window's explorer, they are opened by Paint but not from other non microsoft applications. If i rename the "foreign" caracters , then i can open the file or folder. But they are many files to do manually this. Please help me. I made searchings but i found nothing. I'm searching more than 2 hours... matrix1 P.S. The filename for example it is "rång.jpg" but the non microsoft programmes displays it as "rang.jpg" so they can't open the "rang.jpg" file of course because it dont exist! The file that exists is "rång.jpg".
