Screenshot of error message

If I want to open a supported file with Gimp from the windows explorer and the folder it is in has a name in cyrillic letter I get the following error message (original in German and my translation)

German version of error message. 
GIMP-Meldung
»K:\Backup\Photo & Photobooks\2012\2012-08\2012-08-05 ???????? & ??????????? ??????\DSC09459.xcf« konnte nicht geöffnet werden: »K:\Backup\Photo & Photobooks\2012\2012-08\2012-08-05 ???????? & ??????????? ??????\DSC09459.xcf« konnte nicht zum Lesen geöffnet werden: Invalid argument

My translation: 
GIMP-Message
»K:\Backup\Photo & Photobooks\2012\2012-08\2012-08-05 ???????? & ??????????? ??????\DSC09459.xcf« could not be opend: »K:\Backup\Photo & Photobooks\2012\2012-08\2012-08-05 ???????? & ??????????? ??????\DSC09459.xcf« Could not be opened for reading

The "?" are cyrillic letter in the folder name. 

Minor bug, because if I use "File" and "Open" it work without any problems. 

Best regards

P.S. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. Gimp is great.

Probably something with escaping the string correctly.
Windows experts, opinions? Reported, please set the
version field correctly.
Comment 2 Jernej Simončič 2012-09-03 06:57:11 UTC 
This is probably related to option parsing - IIRC, there's a bug about this, but I can't find it right now (command-line parameters are always passed in ANSI codepage).
Comment 3 Max Mustermann 2012-09-25 20:07:58 UTC 
Confirming this for GIMP 2.8.2 on Win7, 32 bit. 
It works fine on a Mac OS X 10.6.
Comment 4 Max Mustermann 2012-10-03 19:20:26 UTC 
FYI: Non-standard characters in file and path names seem to be a more general problem. See also bug #659509.
Comment 5 Jernej Simončič 2012-10-03 21:31:18 UTC 
This is the same bug as #659509 and related to bug #522131 - argv is always in ansi codepage, so any character outside it gets lost.
