GetAppConfigDir returns the incorrect data for non-ASCII symbols

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Main.pas (r231)

row 558:
      FHomeDir:=IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter(GetAppConfigDir(False));

Replace it please with this:

      FHomeDir:=IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter(GetAppConfigDirUTF8(False));

Thanks.

Not all so is simple as it has appeared.
It was necessary to correct very much.
I have made a patch.

I don't understand why it is necessary to convert all paths to utf8 for internal
storage and then convert them back to the system encoding before doing any file
system operation.

Currently all paths are retrieved and stored in the system encoding.

Probably I compiled the project with wrong options :(
What parametres of compilation need to be set for Lazarus?
Your exe-file from the distribution kit works perfectly.
But if to copile the project from source codes, it not so.

ps: fpc 2.4.1, lazarus 0.9.29.23824

No special options are needed.
Recently I switched to fpc 2.4.x and Lazarus 0.9.28.x
Probably there is a problem with your Lazarus version. Try to use Lazarus 
0.9.28.x
and the latest transgui svn.
