[solved]why this dictionary can't be recognized

Please help me identify why the attached DSL dictionary can't be recognized in Goldendict.
It's of Dsl format, I put it in the right folder, everything seems correct, yet it can't be scanned and listed in Goldendict dictionary list after I have done the RESCAN FILES command. Quite strange!
See attachment for the mentioned dictionary!
Thank you very much!

Last EA build can handle such filenames correctly.

@ viarm, Abs62:

Thank you all guys, I have solved this problem by change the dsl file name to a simple one. :D

One question of curiosity, for Goldendict of 1.0.1 version, what kind of dsl file names may not be handled correctly?

GD 1.0.1 can't handle filenames which can't be correctly converted into local 8-bit encoding.
