[Gdal-dev] Can't open a sid image under Russian locale

[Sean Forde]

Peng,

I am not sure what the convention for the encoding of GDALOpenInfo->pszFileName. The mrsid driver expects poOpenInfo->pszFilename to be in OS-native encoding. If you are passing in UTF8, then it will be garbled.

I am not sure if this is a bug in the driver (i.e. should we be expecting poOpenInfo->pszFilename to be UTF8). If any one has clues as to the conventions/requirments of poOpenInfo->pszFilename, that would be helpful.

	-Sean

GDAL can’t open a sid with a Russian path name. The problem seems to be the name conversion in
LTFileSpec. The following is the name before and after.
 
I am using DSDK 5.0.6
 
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Create a corresponding GDALDataset.                             */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    MrSIDDataset        *poDS;
    const LTFileSpec    oFileSpec( poOpenInfo->pszFilename );
 
 
Before poOpenInfo->pszFilename:
 
“\\collingwood\checklist_data\Raster\I18N\Russian\фывdvim3_2.sid”
 
After oFileSpec.path8:
 
 "\\collingwood\checklist_data\Raster\I18N\Russian\Р‡в€љС‚dvim3_2.sid"
