Description (last modified by 45136)

I tried to merge geotiffs from Qgis with 

gdal_merge.bat -of GTiff -o D:/Karten/Geotiff/Ärowést/neu D:/Karten/Geotiff/Ärowést/Inrath5.tif D:/Karten/Geotiff/Ärowést/Inrath55.tif

which results in the following error: 

ERROR 4: `D:/Karten/Geotiff/rowst/Inrath5.tif' does not exist in the file system, 
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name. 

ERROR 4: `D:/Karten/Geotiff/rowst/Inrath55.tif' does not exist in the file system, 
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name. 

Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "D:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdal_merge.py", line 509, in 
sys.exit(main()) 
File "D:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdal_merge.py", line 392, in main 
ulx = file_infos[0].ulx 
IndexError: list index out of range

Comparing call and error message, the non-ASCII-characters of the folder names get truncated.

Other gdal commands like gdalinfo don't mind about that.

Tested with OSGeo4W Gdal Version 1.9.2 and Qgis standalone 1.8.0 with Gdal 1.9.1
