Error: Import Error: error opening DXF/DWG file about librecad HOT 12 OPEN

All files open fine with 2.2.0.2.
The error is about open, means the system call, to open the file, fails. It is not about the content. There is no more info or log file.
That means, it is an issue with file permissions or location or naming.
Try to move the DXF files to another location.
Give more details in steps to reproduce, e.g. absolute path of files, type of drive, pen drive or network or local.

The problem is a Unicode thing. Rename the file ABgaldniecība.dxf and you won't be able to open it.

@kashcode

I have no trouble opening the dxf files.

Could you try our latest builds at:

https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases

from librecad.

Already tried multiple times. Might be there is some more detailed logs where can try find what causes this?

@lordofbikes thanks for the hint, I will check things related to permissions

from librecad.

Path is following C:\Users\ABgaldniecība\OneDrive\Dators\DXF I guess issue is in this char ī.
When I create folder under C:\dxf and copy file into this folder file opens without any error

from librecad.

Did you type in the path?

By the file dialog should be language ignorant

from librecad.

Error can be reproduced.
I just now create folder galdniecība and add dxf files

When try open file get error:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

from librecad.

How did you open the file? More specific:

1, from command line in the same folder by typing in LibreCAD.exe followed by the file name only?
2, from File > open, type in the complete path and file?
3, file > open> click on the file name;
4, from file explorer, drag the file to a running LibreCAD?

from librecad.

in my particular case this is:
3. file > open> click on the file name;

4, from file explorer, drag the file to a running LibreCAD - same error as 3.

1 and 2 I not verify - is not usually how I open files

from librecad.

I can reproduce this one, and it appears to be a dxfrw bug.

If confirmed, this should also be fixed in 2.2.1

from librecad.

Fixed by 72902cb

Please help testing.

The issue is NOT related to the encoding of the file name.
