Hi! When im working in photoshop, and choose "save for web" and exporting webgraphics, i always get a anoying dialogpopup that says "Some names of the files being saved containg non-Latin characters……"
How do i get rid of this dialogue? Its very anoying, expecially when exporting hundreds of images.
Its possible to turn this message of in Imageready, but not in photoshop!
(I upgraded to CS2 from CS1 and thought this "bug" was gone. Buts it´s still there in CS2!)

First of all, you do not want to call anything like this a ‘bug.’
A bug is a flaw. This message, while it might be annoying to you, is meant to signal a performance. I have not seen this so I suspect it can be turned on or off in preferences.
That can happen if you have any illegal character in the name of anything in your path (name of file, folder, volume, drive).
Stick to numbers, underscores and the letters of the English alphabet. Don’t use any diacriticals, apostrophes, slashes, ampersands, asterisks, etc., in the name of anything.
Its not a bug, but its a bug that adobe forgot to put a "never show this message again", as they have done in imageready. Well well. I think its my harddrive thas have swedish characters, and thats why the message appears, renaming it and hopes it works better…
Having spent my initial years working on CPM and MSDOS, the lingering illegal characters still come to mind whenever I’m naming files. Wouldn’t want to offend the nasty MSDOS and throw the CPU into a tail spin.
My harddrive had a swedish specialcharacter. When i removed those, it worked.
But its still confusing:
1. Imageready warns about this as well, but there i have the option to get rid of the alertmessage forever.
2. the warningsmessage says that i have bad characters in the filename im trying to save to my desktop, eaven if the name of the saved image is 1.jpg. (it doesent tell you that its the PATH that contains non-latin characters.
The irony is that Save for Web is powered by the ImageReady engine.
Within Photoshop the warning serves every user, including those that only rarely prepare images for the web. That would be someone like me, who only once ever launched Image Ready and then came to post my very first message in this forum asking "What is this Image Ready thing and can safely delete it?"
The problem would arise if you linked that image on a server, and Photoshop has no way of knowing whether your Swedish-name drive is or will one day be also acting as a server. Therefore, the warning is on point.
I believe that the error message does not mention the name of the file at all, just the existence of non-Latin characters in the abstract. [EDIT: I can’t be sure because I have not seen the error in years.]
