Dear moneydance team,
Using monedance 2023.1(5006) on both Linux and Windows, when I attach a PDF with Umlaut in the name on the Linux (Ubuntu 23.10), it does not sync to Windows via Dropbox. In Windows, I see the below error in the console view:
Error getting attachment preview for path 'attach/04b/064/dd-/Z�rich_Versicherungs_Gesellschaft_20230713_rn_5ca0f391_4f6b_4ca1_b644_43a61a216820_in_051322582361_B00031936279.pdf': java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Daten\Moneydance\book.moneydance\safe\attach\04b\064\dd-\Z�rich_Versicherungs_Gesellschaft_20230713_rn_5ca0f391_4f6b_4ca1_b644_43a61a216820_in_051322582361_B00031936279.pdf (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)

Is there anything I need to configure to support file names with Umlaut or should I better avoid it?

Thanks,
Chris

   Hi Chris,

   I think the problem here could be one of two things: moneydance encoding the file name's umlaut incorrectly in its stored data or maybe the umlaut not syncing properly through dropbox's filenames. I think it is likely to be moneydance's encoding issue, in which case it should be fixed in the current unstable/alpha release of moneydance. However, it won't be able to correct the broken encoding that is already in the moneydance record. For that we'll probably need to do a manual correction of the filename.

   In the meantime it would be good to avoid attaching filenames with umlauts, but when the next release is available please let me know and I can work with you to correct the link to the attachment.

   Thanks,
   Sean

   Hi Sean,

   Thank you very much for the quick help. I have renamed the file and
   re-attached it. Will try again with special characters (that I receive
   ...) with the next version.

   Best,
   Chris
