Summary: serious troubles with folders with non-ASCII chars on WinXP
Initial Comment:
On Windows XP, you cannot save a new file to any
directory that has non-ASCII characters in it. For
example, if someone has an accented E in their
username, then their home folder will be in
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME, where USERNAME is
the name with the accented E.
The work around is to save to the root of C:\, then
move the file to the directory with the non-ASCII
chars. After that, it is possible to save changes.
But the only way to open the file is to double-click it
and let it open via file associations. File->Open
crashes Pd-0.40-2 and nothing happens on
Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5.
This has been confirmed on Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5 and
Pd-0.40-0, on Windows XP US and Spanish editions.

the problem was that the Tcl internal character encoding was just being
sent straight to the pd process without being converted to the current
system encoding. I added Tcl_UtfToExternalDString() as an easy way to
convert from the Tcl encoding to the current system encoding and it seems
to work fine now.
I am raising the priority since it can prevent people from saving.

Here's an example error message when I tried to save a new file:
error: C:/Documents and
Settings/hans/Desktop/testbug-üé/Untitled-1.pd: No such file
or directory
