no support for scanning Chinese directory path

[swisheng]

Actually, I have one idea about what might be wrong with (some) Chinese filenames...
Let's make an experiment - please do the following:

1. Open Notepad
2. In Windows Explorer, open one of the folders logged in avast! error log
3. Copy it's filename into Notepad (but don't retype it - make sure you use copy&paste from Explorer to Notepad)
4. Save the content from Notepad to a file, using the Unicode encoding (you can specify it in the Save dialog)
5. Attach the file here.

I'll see if I can reproduce the problem. Thanks!

Hi, here is a way to reproduce the error, I will submit a .zip file which has the following stracture:
/test<dir>
   |->/病毒<chinese named dir 1>
      |->virus.txt<file>
  |->/病毒2<chinese named dir 2>
         |->virus.txt<file>

*the tow "virus.txt" files contain a simple line of string just like "virusvirusvirus".

If you scan the chinese named dir 1 or 2, it will report a error similar to "avast-chinese-folder-error.jpg", and if you scan the whole "test" directory, a "Avast-debug-error.jpg" screen will appear(maybe you need to run it several times).



Thx.

Here is the .txt file which contains the two chinese named folders.

Oddly enough, we're not able to simulate any of the problems on our machines. No matter how hard we're trying, it seems to be working OK...

If you'd like, I can send you another (newer) build (in a couple of days) to try out...

Thx
