You want the glibmm equivalent of g_filename_to_utf8.
Sweet, that did the job. Thanks. It's called
Glib::locale_to_utf8().
You might also want to consider using a UTF-8 locale (de_DE.UTF-8) and
UTF-8 filenames on disc.
I also considered that, but wasn't sure if I
really need it. What exactly would be the
advantage of using UTF-8 over an extended ASCII
charset?
I have the feeling that other programs may have
trouble with widebyte charsets (for example, if I
send UTF-8 encoded in X-Chat, people using MS
Windows can't read my umlauts either).
