Bug Description
When using a non-POSIX locale, e.g. de_DE.utf8 or de_CH.utf8, stopmotion creates an empty preferences file at startup and produces the following error messages on the console:
----------
error : string is not in UTF-8
encoding error : output conversion failed due to conv error, bytes 0xE4 0x74 0x20 0x28
I/O error : encoder error
----------
Stopmotion then crashes on all subsequent starts because of the empty preferences file. More details can be found in the following Debian bugreport:

Reproduce this issue by deleting ~/.stopmotion/ preferences. xml then:
LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 stopmotion
The error messages appear. I get a segfault. An empty ~/.stopmotion/ preferences. xml file is generated, which prevents Stopmotion from starting subsequently even if a working locale is requested.
