encfs handles umlauts (ä,ö,ü) incorrectly

[mazimmer]

Environment

• Windows version: Win7
• Processor architecture: x86
• Encfs4win version: 1.10.1-RC11
• Dokan version (legacy, modern): modern

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

• Create directory containing umlaut, eg. "ä"
• try to create encfs volume in this directory
• get error that a different directory doesn't exist

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 #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?

[mazimmer]

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.
