"cannot read"-error message

Gimp cannot read files or folders containing Ä, Ö or Å. I'm not sure about norwegian letters. This "bug" might be common knowledge already though.
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2012-01-18 08:17:17 UTC 
Please try GIMP 2.7.4 and report back, we won't fix 2.6 bugs any longer.
Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2012-03-06 06:17:18 UTC 
Could you please try to reproduce problem with GIMP 2.7.4 or later version and update the bug report with your findings, tia.
Comment 3 tobias 2012-03-07 08:55:09 UTC 
Have you tried to open the file via drag and drop, double click or the file open dialog?

I think this could be a duplicate of bug #659509
Comment 4 seppo 2012-03-08 06:26:48 UTC 
Drag and drop, open file dialog and Open with...-dialog causes same problem. But as said before, this applies only to version 2.6.11.
Comment 5 tobias 2012-03-08 07:59:54 UTC 
@seppo
So it is fixed in 2.7.x?
Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2012-04-20 04:23:45 UTC 
seppo, did you try GIMP 2.7.x ?

> seppo, did you try GIMP 2.7.x ?

Sorry, I didn't. As 2.6.11 seems to be latest, stable version, I continue to use that. I know that Bugzilla-community doesn't provide support for version before 2.7.x. I tried to install 2.7.0, but something went wrong. So I don't know if the problem persist in 2.7.x and I won't (apparentely) try (anymore) to find out.
Comment 8 Alexia Death 2012-04-27 05:51:59 UTC 
There is a release candidate of 2.8 out and no bugs against 2.6 are fixed. Please try the RC. You can reinstall the 2.6 afterwards, if you have issues.
