encfs handles umlauts (ä,ö,ü) incorrectly #92

Closed mazimmer closed 5 years ago

Environment

Description

When trying to use a directory containing a German umlaut, the umlaut is changed to another character and the directory not found. Some umlauts (ö,ü) cause encfs.exe to hang.

Steps to reproduce problem

Example: C:\Users\MBRANE\Test>f:\src\encfs.exe c:/Users/MBRANE/Test/ä x: The directory "c:/Users/MBRANE/Test/õ/" does not exist. Should it be created? (y,n) n

Thanks for the report, @mazimmer !

I wonder if this is related to issue https://github.com/jetwhiz/encfs4win/issues/55 in some way.

Does this problem only occur for you if the mounting directory has an umlaut, or also if directories and files within the encfs container have umlauts?

Umlauts within the container don't seem to be a problem - just tried re-mounting a container with such a folder, no issue.

So it only seems to occur with mounting umlaut-directories.
