#8 Wrong utf8 handling when opening a file

[Markus Koschany]

Hello,

I am forwarding a bug report from Debian's bug tracker.

This is Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/798399.

"When trying to open a file which has non latin characters at filename or at
path, a message appears:
Cannot open "/home/user/???????/Fuer_Elise.mid

If I move the same file to another directory which has only latin characters in
the path, then it opens normally.

The open file dialog should be able to parse urf8 characters."

I can confirm this behaviour when the path to the midi file contains German umlauts, pianobooster won't open the file at all. If I move the file to a directory which contains only ascii characters, opening works as expected.
