[rkward-devel] rkward will not open RData files with non-ascii characters in file path via command line or xdg

[stfs]

Dear dev list
I have tried to find a way to report a bug - I apologize if this is the 
wrong way.

My system is Ubuntu lucid 10.04
rkward is the latest stable via ppa


Bug: rkward fails to open RData files via commandline which contain 
Danish characters in their file paths. The error shows the path with the 
offending characters shown as the utf8 "unknown char" character.

The same RData file can be opened from the rkward menu "open workspace" 
without problems.

I have set up my system to automatically open RData files in rkward so 
this issue is also present when I doubleclick an RData file.

To reproduce:
!) create or copy a RData file somewhere
2) change its name so it contains a Danish letter eg. ø
3) on the commandline:

rkward ø.RData


expected result: rkward opens with ø.RData as its workspace.

actual result: rkward opens and then produces an error which says

There has been an error opening file '/home/finn/?.Rdata':



best regards
Finn
