(Windows) Command line options not working with diacritics

[ultr41337h4xor]

• I have checked the FAQ for answers.
• I have checked the Changelog that the issue is not already fixed.
• I believe this issue is a bug, and not a general technical issue, question or feature requests that can be discussed on the forum.

Describe the bug
Trying to play a local file, when the file location contains a diacritic (for example - C:/Domaće) results in the player giving a file does not exist error. The player tries to find a file location that does not contain the diacritic (following the former example - C:/Domace).

To Reproduce
Try to play a local file in a location containg a diacritic in the name.

Expected behavior
The file should be found and played.

I can't reproduce this issue. Tested with both "Domaće" in the path and in the filename.

What settings do you have in Windows for Region? Make sure the Beta option is off, it is buggy:

@jonaski
System locale is set to English (United States) with Beta unticked, while formats are set to Croatian (Croatia).

Also, to clarify further - the way I play files is I have the setting in the player for double clicking set to append to the playlist and always start playing. So, this happens when I try playing a file by double clicking it in a Windows Explorer window. Maybe that has something to do with it?

EDIT: Just tested dragging and dropping a song from that folder to the playlist, as well as going to Music - Open file... which both worked. So it seems the only time this happens is when playing by double clicking on a song in Windows Explorer.

This is because Strawberry uses BSD getopt on Windows too, so no easy fix I think other than rewriting the command line options.
