[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can not open files from unicode-named folders under Windows (#2652)

[WhatWhereWhyler]

1) Create a path with unicode characters (cyrillic, for example) under Windows, and a some file (with a some content! For example, "ABCDE"):
C:\dev\слово\src\file.py
2) Open console and go to the C:\dev\слово\src\ folder.
3) Launch Geany from command line with the file name as the parameter:
C:\your_installation_path\bin\geany.exe  file.py
4) Geany opened an empty file instead of the file with the "ABCDE" content.
In the log messages the path is "c:\dev\слово\src\file.py" instead of normal "C:\dev\слово\src\file.py"

5) But, if you launch geany with the full path to the file
C:\your_installation_path\bin\geany.exe  C:\dev\слово\src\file.py
all will be ok. We can see the file content: "ABCDE"
The log messages show the right file path: "c:\dev\слово\src\file.py"

So, geany can't detect default working dir under Windows. And you can't use geany in your workflow with unicode characters in paths.
