HI all,
Dopus version:8.2.2.3.Unicode
the issue as below pic:

but when i change the file name in English or number, it's ok.
I think it's the plugin problem. :slight_smile:

I can confirm that the Opus plug-in system at least supports Unicode file names properly. I use it all the time to view picture and video files with unicode file names.

Not sure about the text viewer plug-in, I use Notepad :slight_smile: One point though - if your system is set to and English locale then the text viewer might not display the file correctly anyway.

Basically, there is no standard for non-English text files. Many (most?) just use the local character set, for example most Japanese files use ISO-2022-JP or Shift-JIS. There is no way to detect this and thus no way to support it, so you may find you need an app like AkelPad where you can manually choose the character set, or just change your locale to whatever kind of Chinese you are using. Oh, and one other option is to use AppLocale to load Notepad in the locale of your choice. You can even make an Opus shortcut on the context menu.

Having said that, Notepad does try to detect Unicode text files encoding in UTF-16, but it doesn't always work.
