[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#603485: tex2lyx conversion fails when there is an accented character in the target's path

[Pierre Berger]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: normal

Please find hereunder a console output showing the error : 

pierre at Pierre:~/PartageLocal/transfert/réunion$ ls
test.tex
pierre at Pierre:~/PartageLocal/transfert/réunion$ tex2lyx -f 'test.tex' 'test.lyx'

This impacts the "import from latex" feature of LyX.

Good luck with the investigation.

Sincerely,

Pierre
