Wildcard in UTF-8 filenames

Initially reported on thread "Imagemagick getting stuck while converting tif file."

IM v7.0.1 on Windows 7, x64.

The problem boils down to:

Code: Select all

magick 481藉我賜恩褔*.tif -units PixelsPerInch -page Letter -density 72 481藉我賜恩褔.pdf
These are Chinese UTF-8 characters. The input has a "*" wildcard. IM fails.
PhotoCat wrote:It sometimes gives me an error message: (sometimes but not always)

"Imagemagick Studio Library and utility programs has stopped working"
The workaround is to rename the files to use only ASCII characters, or provide an explicit list of filenames with no wildcard.

I suspect IM may have a bug handling wildcards with UTF-8 characters.

I cannot reproduce the issue with the latest version of IM7 on Windows 10 x86. Is it possible to share a file and a command to reproduce the issue?

I suggest you ask PhotoCat. See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27065&start=15#p136215
