Re: Problems with file names containing latin accent characters

I noticed also that on windows, metakit needs utf8 file names. But did 
not test on other plateforms.I supposed all plateforms need utf8 ?

Anyway I rather changed my code to give utf8 to metakit. Any precision 
would be appreciated.
Thanks
