Vips fails with Chinese (or any other non-latin) characters

Thank you for reporting this, I am looking into it.

Not only with chinese. Same thing with foldernames with russian characters.

Seems to be poor support for Unicode filenames in Vips. I opened a bug report with Vips dev: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/2599

Somebody reported that he got this working with German characters by changing the system locale to de_DE.UTF-8

Not so easy to do that using Docker though.

I try to set system locale to zh_CN.UTF-8, Its works in ubuntu command line, but still don't work in Filerun.

I don't use Docker.

Polish characters  is  also a problem for Vips. I using docker-compose and have some problem but I just rename some directories and it's works.

Temporary solution:

1、Make sure that you have /usr/local/bin/vipsthumbnail and /usr/bin/php

2、download this file, edit it , change "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" to your country language code, mv this file to /usr/local/bin/ , and give it executable privileges

3、on filerun Control panel, Files -> Thumbnails and preview -> Path of "vipsthumbnail" binary, set it to "/usr/local/bin/vipsthumbnail-fix"

vipsthumbnail-fix

Note this is only a temporary solution and may not be the best solution.

Until vips gets fixed, here is an easy workaround for this problem.

Create the file "customizables/config.php" (if does not exist already) and have it read this:

<?php

putenv('LANG=C.UTF-8');

Very great, thank you.
