BUG: File locked using -stay_open with extended characters in path

[pipur]

• Windows 10 64-bit system
• Exiftool 12.09
• Command line: exiftool -charset filename=UTF8 -stay_open True -@ "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\Ö\argfile.txt"
• Unable to append to argfile.txt - file in use (locked) by Exiftool. It works as expected when it's only ASCII characters in path

This is the way ExifTool opens these files:

Code Select Expand

    CreateFileW($file, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

Hmmm.  Perhaps FILE_SHARE_READ should be changed to FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE ?

Please let me know if ExifTool 12.12 solves this issue.

Thanks.
