Re: [science-iwg] Problem of HDF5 file with UTF8 file names on Windows
|
Hi,
This is an old and very annoying problem with the HDF5 library that the developers unfortunately do not want to solve.
There are basically two ways around this:
1) Use GetShortPathName (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364989(v=vs.85).aspx and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11038595/java-call-for-windows-api-getshortpathname) to get the ASCII string name.
The Microsoft page makes it clear that there are limitations to this working however…
2) Recompile HDF5 with the patch provided at https://lists.hdfgroup.org/pipermail/hdf-forum_lists.hdfgroup.org/2014-August/007988.html
I ended up doing this some time ago and I can confirm that it works fine when using the HDF5 C API, I cannot comment on how it works from Java.
Best,
Tom
