Odd issues with duplication related to unusual characters in filenames #6

I've been trying to get GoSync working properly under Ubuntu 17.10 running Pantheon desktop. The lack of system tray has been a bit of a pain but as far as I can tell syncing has succeeded.

However the folders synced contain various Swedish characters (ä, ö, and å) and GoSync seems to be unsure of how to handle this. This results in multiple versions of the same folder with names like "V??stergatan", "V¤Astergatan", and "Västergatan". I'm not certain if it managed to get the spelling right or whether I renamed the folder to that. The middle one is also only an approximation of the issue (sadly I forgot to document it at the time).

I never tested this with different locales adn I don't know how to do it. I can't think of why GoSync will not be able to handle this. The file and folder names are the ones that Google responded with. Need to check if Google API have support to set a particular locale.

Interesting problem though.
