GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 170640
Thumbnails don't show under localized Windows XP

Distribution/Version: XP Pro with multilanguage support enabled for Russian In the File open dialog once an image is selected on a disk the error shows, stating that GIMP can not write a thumbnail in directory "D:\Documents and Settings\???????????\.thumbnails...". The '????' seems to be a localized name of a user. In other places where the name is used (for example, in the Options dialog) the name is shown correctly. It seems the Open file dialog lacks proper codepage translation for paths being used.
