Bug Description
On Ubuntu in French, I try to synchronize /home/user/Vidéos/, but FFS raises the following error when I click on "Compare" :
"The following folder /home/user/Vidéos/ doesn't exist."
Notice the uggly accent encoding.
Originally from http://
Here is the error message :
Directory does not exist: "/home/
You can ignore the error to consider not existing directories as empty.
Linux Error Code 2: No such file or directory

According to Zenju analysis, it's a bug in wxWidgets 2.8.
Somewhere in wxWidgets code there is a problem with conversion "UTF-8 -> wide character". :FromAscii( ) instead of wxString: :FromUTF8( )
Perhaps there's somewhere a wxString:
Extract from wxWidgets 2.8 : :FromAscii( gtkpath) ;
filePicker.h
void UpdatePath(const char *gtkpath){
m_path = wxString:
}
It seems to be fixed by wxWidgets 2.9 (need to be confirmed).
