DDS Image message: Error opening file about gimp-dds

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The "Error opening file" error message is only used once throughout the entire 
plugin, and that's when it really can't physically open a file.  It has nothing 
to do with the contents of the file, it's format, etc... Check to make sure the 
user that you are logged into on the machine has proper access to the file(s) 
in question.  Let me know if that helps!  I was able to open the file fine with 
all supported builds of the plugin.  See attached screenshot. In this case, 
64-bit Windows build of GIMP 2.8.10 run with WINE on a Linux machine.  I don't 
have access to a Windows machine, so I can't test in the same conditions.  
Sorry :(

After sime trial and error, i've found out the problem is with the folder name 
where the file was. The folder had a character "é" that cause error, if i 
change it to e, it works. Now it is the problem of gimp, or the plugin?
I can open for example a png from the same folder, so it seems the dds plugin 
that don't like the non english characters.
