#265 Exporting files with norwegian wovels messes up file names

[Morten Skarstad]

Note: This ticket was originally sent to ScidVsPC, but I see the same problem applies to SCID, so I post it here as well.

Case: I am maintaining an autumn tournament ("høstturnering") for a club in Norway, and when I try to add new games to the PGN (usually by filtering on the tournament in ScidVsPC and exporting filtered games) and double clicking on my existing PGN in the file dialogue, ScidVsPC does not overwrite the existing PGN. Instead, it creates a new file with a garbled name, where some of the letters are replace with some double byte encoding (UTF8?).

Trying to save a game to the file "Bjørn Dæhlie vs Ådne Søndrål.pgn" becomes "Bjørn Dæhlie vs Ã…dne SøndrÃ¥l.pgn"

This is tested on 2 different computers running Windows. Mainline SCID seems to have the same problem.
