Hi, while testing Tk-thumbnail-viewer , I came across a problem, which I can't resolve. If you descend into the image subdir art/Paintings/Van_Gogh , there is a file named

Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_Rémy .png
[download]

as seen in Midnight Commander. If I do a dir, I see

Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_R\303\251my\ .png
[download]

Needless to say, when I try to open the file in my Tk program, it complains that "no such file exists". There are a few other files named this way, in the clipart package, and I want to know how to deal with them, so they will load in Perl.

My c based apps seem to find it.

I tried it from a gtk2 version of my viewer, and I get

***   Failed to open file './wpclipart_src-1.7/art/Paintings/Van_Gogh/
+Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_Rémy .png': No such file or directory 
+at ./gtk2_thumbnail_viewer1 line 272.
[download]

Somehow the Rémy turned into Rémy ??

Can anyone explain this for me?

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
