Unicode support for file / folder result

[alwendya]

Hi, first this work is amazing ! I'm French and using special character in filename like 'é' î' ... When I open a file picker, the file name are not shown in totality, part are truncated where the special character is located : Exemple : Here the folder name is '§Rangement à trier' and it shown '?rangement ?rier'. I hope you can fix this because this file/folder browser is great. If I can be of any help...

I managed to make a work around : I'm putting my modified file attached to this post for information and I am well aware that's only working for windows but it give an hint of the way to proceed (And I don't know if the same happen from linux users for an example)...

I'm using these 3 function when text rendering happen or conversion between string/wstring using begin()/end() method which is unaware of utf8 string :

• to_utf8 (converting ansi string to utf8)
• utf8_to_wstring (Converting utf8 string to wstring)
• wstring_to_utf8 (converting wstring to ansi utf8) ImFileDialog.zip ( ==> I'm using Visual Studio 2015 who only know experimental::filesystem. On a more recent version, you have to replace experimental::filesystem to std::filesystem like the original code) I'm looking now for a way to store the added quick access item to the software so that every time it is launched, quick access is re-populated... And I don't figure how yet but having the dialog using system language would be nice too... (String table hard-coded maybe...)

Keep going ... Grégory PS: I try my best to write in english, I hope I'm understandable...

Thank you for reporting this!

This should now be fixed with commit afbcf44 . I used std::filesystem::path's u8string() method to get the UTF-8 encoded string. Dear ImGui should now be able to properly display the folder/file names.

PS: if you want to obtain the bookmarked directories, use the method GetFavorites(). You can then save the contents of the returned variable however you want to (it returns a vector of UTF-8 encoded std::strings). To add the bookmark, call AddFavorite() method. Both methods use UTF-8 encoded strings
