The GNOME XML parser used by dvdauthor returns all strings internally in
UTF-8 encoding. This includes file names. dvdauthor then converts file
name strings to your locale encoding before passing them to filesystem
calls.
I wonder whether this is right, though. I think the convention on
Unix/Linux systems these days is for all filenames to be stored in UTF-8
encoding. That way, underlying names remain consistent between different
processes/logins/users using different locale settings. If users are
accustomed to working in different encodings, the names can be converted
back and forth as required.
This means that the UTF-8 strings from the XML should always be used as is.
Thoughts, anyone?
