Maybe that's an encoding issue, ie täst is encoded in UTF-8 on the disk
while you are trying to read täst encoded in ISO8859-1 from your
program ?
Hm, yes I think you're right. I have tried executing the code like this now:
{
UriPtr uri = Uri::create(get_uri_from_local_path(home_dir));
uri = uri->append_file_name(Glib::filename_to_utf8(filename));
std::cout << "Uri: " << uri->to_string() << " | exists: ";
std::cout << std::boolalpha << uri->uri_exists() << std::endl;
}
matthias:testing$ G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1 ./a.out
Uri: file:///home/matthias | exists: true
Uri: file:///home/matthias/t%C3%A4st | exists: true
Uri: file:///home/matthias/t%25E4st | exists: false
The problem seems to be that Emacs is encoding the name "täst" in
ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. This would at least explain the problem
with this test case, where the string was hardwired into the code...
So, charset conversion has struck me again! Great. I'm going /nuts/ over
this issue, seriously, I'm struggling with these kinds of problems for
months already without getting productive in any way. Maybe I should
consider porting my code to Python or so, it's getting annoying... *sigh*
Thanks Christophe.

Matthias
