When there are Chinese characters in the file path, an exception is thrown

[Fokatu]

It seems to be an issue with the Hdf5 version, I'm also having that issue when using other libraries. Is it possible to upgrade the version of Hdf.pinvoke?

sample code:
var fid = Hdf5.CreateFile("f:/测试/test5.h5"); Hdf5.CloseFile(fid);

Hi,
I'm able to create the file using the following code:

Directory.CreateDirectory("c:/测试");
var fileId = Hdf5.CreateFile("c:/测试/test5.h5");
Hdf5.CloseFile(fileId);

I can add the CreateDirectory internally.

Thanks for your reply!
Very strange, the files I created are displayed as garbled characters in explorer.

`var fid = Hdf5.CreateFile("f:/test测试.h5");

        Hdf5.CloseFile(fid);`

My system: Windows 10 pro

After further testing, I found that the latest version of HDF.PInvoke does not support Chinese, but the lower version does. Is it OK to downgrade the version of this library? HDF.PInvoke 1.10.5.2 works fine.
Also, how do I compile the .net framework version of the library? Thanks!

hi @Fokatu ,
I more incline to have he issue itself fixed rather than downgrade the vresion.
if this an bug with the underlining library why not open an issue in their repository to let them be aware of it?
