Hi, at Tux Paint there is this bug report [1], a quick test with fopen(fname, "r")) goes right, so the images are accesible at the path described by fname.

An additional test is -with the file manager inside W7- to drag a image over showimage.exe, the results are that the image only displays if the chars of the path to the image are all ASCII.

Well, I followed the trace of the filaname passed to IMG_Load() up to the win32_file_open() function in the SDL-1.2.15/src/file/SDL_rwops.c file, it is unchanged untill arriving there, then it is recoded in this function, thus changing the path and avoiding to load the file.

If in win32_file_open() I force the use of filename as it is passed to the function ( h = CreateFile(filename, (w_right|r_right).....) instead of the recoded filenameW (h = CreateFileW(filenameW, (w_right|r_right), .....), then it loads right the images with non ascii chars on their path.

I don't provide a patch as I don't know enouth the code to understand what side effects this change can have.

Hope this helps
