Subject: 23.0.50; w32-shell-execute and Swedish =8f6
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:08:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <479509D4.3020900@gmail.com> (raw)

When I try to use w32-shell-execute to get Windows Explorer to show a 
file's folder with the file selected this fails if there is with a 
Swedish o with two dots above it in the file name. Otherwise it 
succeeds. When it fails I get message box (from Windows Explorer) saying 
something like

    The path 'file-path-with-Swedish-o-with-dots.txt' does not
    exist or is not a directory.

The o with dots in this case gives the following output when I do C-u C-x =

==========================================================
   character: ö (2294, #o4366, #x8f6, U+00F6)
     charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 
(ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100.)
  code point: #x76
      syntax: w 	which means: word
    category: l:Latin
buffer code: #x81 #xF6
   file code: not encodable by coding system undecided-dos
     display: by this font (glyph code)
      -outline-Courier 
New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1 (#xF6)

There is an overlay here:
  From 12 to 30
   evaporate            nil
   face                 viper-minibuffer-vi
   priority             300

[back]
==========================================================

To reproduce the problemi start emacs with

    emacs -Q

Compile these functions in the *scratch* buffer

(defun w32shell-explorer-file (file)
   "Open Windows Explorer with file FILE selected."
   (interactive "fFile to focus in Explorer: ")
   (let ((full-file (expand-file-name file)))
     (setq full-file (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" full-file t t))
     (w32-shell-execute nil (concat (getenv "SystemRoot") "\\explorer.exe")
                        (concat "/n,/select," full-file))))

(defun w32shell-explorer-current-file ()
   "Open Windows Explorer with current file selected."
   (interactive)
   (if buffer-file-name
       (w32shell-explorer-file buffer-file-name)
     (message "Buffer has no file name")))

Create a file with the char above in its name and open it in Emacs. Now do

   M-x w32shell-explorer-current-file RET
