ext not working for unicode file paths in Windows TiddlyDesktop

[Lisa Rowell]

I have a large wiki that I've previously been editing/using with Quine on an iPad and TiddlyDesktop on MacOS that I now need to move to a Windows 10 tablet. Unfortunately I hit a bit of a snag with TiddlyDesktop not working quite the same on Windows as it does on MacOS.

My wiki uses external files heavily with, many, many of those files are in a subdirectory with a non-ASCII character in its name. Normally that works fine on filesystems that support unicode, but I've found that in Windows 10 TiddlyDesktop an ext with a unicode pathname (or at least my pathname) will not open. The same file referenced by an img in the same tiddler has no issue and displays correctly. Opening the same wiki in a browser on the same platform works fine.

Is this a known issue? Any thoughts on working around it that don't involve me renaming the directory changing what is probably around 500 ext references?

For completeness: I'm running Windows 10, TiddlyDesktop 0.0.15-prerelease.1, TiddlyWiki 5.1.22, and the disk format is NTFS. I'll include an example tiddler which has an img that works and a few exts that do not, including one to the same file.

Thanks.

Hi Lisa

Ouch! I’ve not heard of this issue before. I’ll set up a virtual machine and investigate.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thanks Jeremy. My internet access is intermittent (Boat Life), some I'm slow to reply to things, but let me know if I can help in anyway.
