XNView Cannot open file when name is cyrilic script

Here is the file I want to open:

Here is the button I am using to open the file in XnView:

Here is the error I get:

The error seems to be related to the fact that the file has Cyrillic letters: Children in the Garden - Władysław Podkowiński.jpg. The button works fine for English letters.

My OS is set to English.

Any pointers?

Works well with XnViewMP.

Yeah, you are right. This seems to be an age-old problem with XnView that the developers do not care about.

You could try {allfilepathshort} instead of {allfilepath} - if your drive has short filenames enabled, it should work.
