can't open .bzr.log when path has non-ascii characters

[Tovim]

bzr: ERROR: [Error 123] A name of file, folder or bundle is not correct:
 u'"C:\\Documents and Settings\\administr\xe1tor\\Dokumenty\\.bzr.log"'
Well, I can´t help, somebody has decided that my user name would be "administrátor" and this is the source of
my many problems.
I could easily change the path in the Bazaar aplication to c:\\Documents and Settings\\Ataman, but I am
not aware how.

Hi Tovim, can you attach the complete chunk that includes this error from .bzr.log (running `bzr version` will tell you where to find it).

Please execute the command again, but with -Derror option added to your
command-line and show there full traceback.

Set BZR_HOME environment variable to change that path.

Is it the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/+bug/887170 ?

Marked as dupe because it looks very similar to another one.

 > Set BZR_HOME environment variable to change that path.

Well, I have created this variable (BZR_HOME / c:\Documents and Settings\Ataman) and nothing changed. When trying to open
the .bzr.log file in the Bazaar Explorer, I am still getting the same cant:
bzr: ERROR: [Error 123] The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorect: u'"c:\\Documents and Settings\\Ataman\\.bzr.log"''
On the other hand, when using a CLI ( >bzr qviewer "c:\Documents and Settings\Ataman\.bzr.log"), I am getting a window with the log text.
Alternatively, I can open the .bzr.log file directly as I know where it is located. So what.
Were there not the application´s injunction (Please report a bug ... ) I wouldn´t bother you at all.
Thank you everybody. Tovim

Thanks for the report Tovim, it was useful, we just needed more information to understand what was going wrong. Fortunately another user reported the same issue roughly when you did, so between the two of you we've got enough to go on. See the other bug for more information, and subscribe if you want to be notified when it's fixed.
