Hi,
I don't know if this was already reported nor if it is a know limitation of
POV-Ray...
POV-Ray doesn't like file names with German umlauts. I named a file

POV-Ray 3.1g has the same behaviour...
If this was reported once, please ignore this bug report....
So long,

It is a known limitation that's difficult to overcome with current
operating systems if you want to maintain portability. It's not a good
idea anyway to use such characters, most people don't even recognize this
limitation since they never consider such file names.

I don't agree, I use accented letters a lot in my
filenames under Windows, which tend to be on the
verbose side. I don't use them in POV-Ray, though.

It would be a good idea if it would not lead to such problems with the OS.
They are part of the standard character set of many languages in one or
another form - they should be supported by the OS. Of course, this is not
POVs fault.
That POV does support those characters in variable declarations, that's
something which could be requested for future versions, though. But it's to
late for 3.5 of course.

I suppose this will change as soon as you try to use these files from a
non-Windows machine...

Well... no. I use these files from Linux, and after
spending some times finding the right mount options,
I'm rather happy with the support Linux offers for
it.
Note that I don't create accented filenames under
Linux, but am happy to use those created under Windows
(mostly mp3s).
Please understand that I'm not saying that accented
filenames are they Right way to go, but I happen to
use them in specific situations, and guess a lot of
people do so.

Would be an bad idea IMHO, because it could make scene-files unreadable
for people with charsets without that characters.
IMHO, only a-z, 0-9 and "_" should be valid characters for variables. It
works this way in most programming languages, too.

Well, I don't like my language to be crippled, because Windows is not able
to support Unicode or something like that. Don't know if such problems exist
on other platforms - IIRC Macs don't suffer these problems from the
charset/OS site (don't know for sure, since I used Macs only occasionally).
You are right of course - if this would lead to problems, it should not be
implemented.
