Thanks a lot!
I think encoding the correct name of the city in the file name is not a
good idea. File name encoding is always problematic. Instead, what
would be better is to have the proper city name inside the file itself.
This way, you can specify that for the entire database, the files are
encoded in UTF-8.
Best regards,
Thomas
