Thanks for posting your report here. I understand why the decision was made not to support wide-character file names in Filesystem (http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/faq.htm), but it misses half the point. The implications are only considered in the context of portability of applications, but what about portability of the library? If I want to write a wide-character application that runs only on Windows, I cannot use Filesystem, without sacrificing the ability to open all files with names that are valid to NTFS (other than by guessing which code page to convert from). For this reason, I don't think that Filesystem should be considered for inclusion in TR2. - Keith MacDonald "Beman Dawes" <bdawes@acm.org> wrote in message news:dicgag$3qi$1@sea.gmane.org...
