You're making things harder than they need to be.
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:@"/path/to/file"
withApplication:@"SomeApp"];
As to AppleScript's Unicode support, I wouldn't be surprised if it
were still unreliable.
Sorry for the badly abridged example. Actually I want to do more
than just open the file.
Or is it definitely impossible to use un-American pathnames in
AppleScript?
I did a test with this... it seems that the code to resolve the alias
in AppleScript doesn't like
non-latin encoded pathnames. If you give it a regular file and don't
ask it to resolve an
alias, it happily works... even with non-English (I don't know Thai?
so I used Japanese characters
for the test, but I'm assuming it works pretty much the same--I know,
dangerous to assume such
things from computers, right? :) )... but if you ask it to resolve an
alias, it dies with the same
error message that you were getting (String encoded with \uNNNN in
place of actual UTF-16
values).Attachment:
