Failed to Drag to Open a .blend File with Windows 7
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

Win7 Ultimate 64bit
2.62
r45265

When opening a blend file by dragging it onto the desktop app icon, while the filename or filepath contains utf characters ( like chinese), it works fine in earlier build, but never got it work with latest build. Fyi.

PS: I found it works fine with Ubuntu 11.10. However, I'm afraid it just doesn't work with Win7 so far. And never got a chance to test with Mac OS yet.

Event Timeline

Cannot confirm with r45318

Can you give filepaths that you are using
Also can you run "blender.exe -d" and then Help->Toggle Console to see debug output.

Thank you

please see attachment.
the error screenshot2.jpg occurs, when dragging the file into the opened window.

D:\新建文件夹\just to cut test.blend

just pick one for example.

btw, thank you so much for the UTF file path support teature! Alexander!!! :D

Comment:
I've just been infomed by another local friend, who met the similar problem. He just open the blend file normally as usual, by loading from "File -> Open" menu. Confirmed myself with 45317, win7 64bit. FYI. Thank you.

Elubie and I cannot replicate it.

I'm afraid that it might be corrupt UTF with illegal symbols when you drag.

Can you
right click blender shortcut
Properties->Shortcut
Target: change "***/blender.exe" to "***/blender.exe -d"
Drag the same file onto shortcut
In blender:
Help->Toggle System Console
Right click on title bar of console
Edit->Mark
Select
Enter (will copy)
And paste the output here

Thanks

Please see above. That's all I have by following your way.
PS: The File path here seems quite strange, the foler name in console shows "D:\鏂板缓鏂囦欢澶筡jump to cut test.blend". However, I bet the correct and "readable" one should be "D:\新建文件夹\jump to cut test.blend".

And below are what displayed there when "International Fonts" is toggled on
or see attachments Thanks.

Leon, can you please re-check with a new SVN version from here please: http://builder.blender.org/download/ ?

Closing due to no response from the bug reporter. (Also could not be verified by 2 developers)

Thomas Dinges (dingto) changed the task status from Unknown Status to Archived.Sep 24 2012, 8:13 PM

Sorry for very late confirmation on this, Dingto. I'm afraid such issue stil exists with 2.64 rc2.
