Summary:
File open does not work when special character in path

Detailed description

If there is a special character (German "Umlaut", ...) anywhere in the path (not necessarily in the .blend file),
then it is not possible to open the file with double-click.

I have tested it only on Mac OS X Snow Leopard with Blender 2.56a.

Error message:
"Can't read file ...... No such file or directory"

Damien: I did a test here with the reporters name :)
if you drop a file on blender.app in the desktop, this is the file it gets in WM_read_file()

17/1/2011 15:04:13 [0x0-0x2a32a3].org.blenderfoundation.blender[47770] wm read file, name /Users/ton/Desktop/K�hberger.blend
(weird is that the error string print does show the umlaut correct...)

With regular F1 load, it gets this:

17/1/2011 15:04:13 [0x0-0x2a32a3].org.blenderfoundation.blender[47770] wm read file, name /Users/ton/Desktop/Kühberger.blend

Is there some kind of utf mapping going on inside cocoa?

That was it: wrong mapping of Cocoa strings, it was set to ISOLatin1 where conversion to UTF8 is the one that works here.

Fixed in svn # 34391
