Also crashes when cyryllic contains in filename;

If filename contains symbol "-" SPIT returns error message.

Does it work with [[PostGIS]] Manager plugin?

With [[PostGIS]] Manager QGIS produces an error:

An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator/.qgis/python/plugins\\postgis_manager\\DlgLoadData.py", line 153, in onLoad
    res, err = self.load_data_win(out, args)

Replying to "dr":/issues/show/2551:

SPIT crashes if path to shapefile contains cyrillic, for example: "d:\шейп\".

I suppose this should be fixed in OGR.  See also the thread [[adding encoding file]] on the developer's mailing list.

I'd note that since GDAL 1.8.0, this should now work after the work done in "RFC30":http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc30_utf8_filenames (a more focused version of RFC 5), provided that QGIS passes UTF-8 filenames to GDALOpen() / OGROpen()

If path to file contains Cyrillic symbol SPIT throws an error:

The following Shapefile(s) could not be loaded:

C:/personal/geo/рельеф/sfo.shp
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REASON: File cannot be opened

Thanks. Missed that one. Support for UTF8 in GDAL/OGR 1.8 added in .
