Hi!
I just noticed that on Windows (tested with XP & Vista) Geany 0.13 crashes when it loads a project which has non-ascii characters in its name (or path). Geany has no problems when it creates the project.
If I open files with non-ascii characters in their names via normal open dialog, Geany reads and shows their contents fine. So the problem appears only when the non-ascii characters are in a project's name(or path). Just before the crash, Geany displays an error dialog saying that it can't open the file.
My Linux machine is in a bad shape so I can't test this on it.
The non-ascii characters I used are UTF-8 'ö' and 'ä' (hex c3 b6 and c3 a4).
Best regards, -Harri

Thanks for reporting. The crash should be fixed in SVN r2238.
There were several problems with file names containing non-Ascii characters everywhere in Geany where native Windows file open/save dialogs were used. I think I fixed most of them, but if anyone notices some strange behaviour please report it. And there is still a problem with the Run command entry in the project's preferences dialog on Windows, the file open button next to it doesn't work at all. I'm not yet sure why. I'll look at this later.
