Dear Maintainer,
I noticed this while trying to import a LaTeX file with the Swedish character
'ä' in it's filename. The GUI just showed some meaningless error message in
the shape of "Something bad happened to a subprocess, but I have no idea what".
However, in the terminal, the output was this:
Running: tex2lyx -f "Inlämningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.tex" "Inlämningsuppgift 1 -
EDA016.lyx"
Creating file /home/anton/Dokument/Skolarbeten/20111027 - EDA016 -
Inlmningsuppgift 1/Inlmningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.lyx
Could not open output file "/home/anton/Dokument/Skolarbeten/20111027 - EDA016
- Inlmningsuppgift 1/Inlmningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.lyx" for writing.
.../../../src/support/Systemcall.cpp(270): Systemcall: 'tex2lyx -f
"Inlämningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.tex" "Inlämningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.lyx"'
finished with exit code 1
Error: Kan inte omvandla fil
----------------------------------------
Ett fel uppstod vid körning av:
tex2lyx -f "Inlämningsuppgift 1 - EDA016.tex" "Inlämningsuppgift 1 -

Rough translation:
Error: Kan inte omvandla fil -> Error: Cannot convert file
Ett fel uppstod vid körning av -> An error occurred during the processing of
I tried to run LyX with LANG=C to get English strings for reporting purposes,
but then I couldn't open the same file at all, because the file browser looks
like this: http://i.imgur.com/dOLx0.png and the directories with icons that
looks like documents can't be opened because they don't really exist.
