Unable to open certain non english filenames

[caps]

I have some files which contain hebrew characters in the name. TextMaker is unable to open them at all.
When double clicking from gnome files the error I receive is:

When opening from within TM itself the error is:

It appears this problem happens only when the file was not originally created with TextMaker. When creating a sample file in TM it does seem to work.

Renaming the file to all english letters allows the file to be opened normally either of the two ways mentioned above, but I can't expect everyone I share documents with to always be renaming files.
This exact file opens just fine in other office programs, such as WPS, so I know it's a bug in TM.
I have the full version of Textmaker 2018, but this same behavior happens on both versions of the 2021 beta.
Attached is a sample file.

I was able to open the file correctly in Ubuntu 18.04. What distro and version are you using?

I'm using Zorin OS 15.2

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux zenbook-zorin 5.3.0-51-generic #44~18.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 23 14:27:18 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This same bug occurs on other laptops with the same version of Zorin installed with pptx files as well.

The problem didn't happen on my Zorin 15.2 machine. However I reported the issue to the developers.

By the way, could you please go to "? | About | Write system info" and post here the sminfo.txt it generates?

This solved the problem:

Code: Select all

echo export LANG="en_IL.UTF-8"  >> .profile

Thanks for your help.
