Cannot open directories that have files with umlauts in their name

[Snack555]

Version: 2.5.1 (Flatpak)

If I have a file with Ä or Ö, and possibly some other characters, JRomManager fails to open the directory. Renaming or moving these files allows me to open the directory again.

I get these error messages in my system log:

Exception in thread "Basic L&F File Loading Thread" java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Malformed input or input contains unmappable characters: /home/user/Downloads/??

Please check if bug is still present on latest release.

Ooh, I see, the Flatpak version on Flathub is absolutely ancient if the version numbers are to be believed. I would have thought that it was at least somewhat up to date. Yes, it is indeed working normally if I try the Appimage version (3.0.0) so this is no longer an issue.

However in this case, I'd recommend taking a look at the version distributed on Flathub and deciding what to do with it: https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.optyfr.JRomManager

Hello,
I think that in that flatpak version the utf-8 for locale may have been missed and it’s only POSIX or C
please see issue #18 to request for a newer version, I think it should be Unicode by default now…
