Unicode chars in filename + Diskwriter = lockup

Every time I encode a file where the output filename has an unicode character (japanese katakana to be specific) in it, Foobar hangs up. Is there a fix for this?

try using %s in commandline encoder settings. It works for me when compressing to wavpack.

gamingforce member, I presume?

yup.

I'm actually using Track $num(%tracknumber%,2) for tracks with unicode filenames. What does that %s do exactly?

s=temporaly input file (only use with encoders that don't support pipes)

standard parameters (-h %d). (edit presets, not output file name formating)

Well, in my case it will (try to) start the conversion, but the diskwriter will lock up, clicking Abort on it will lock up the rest of the player, and no file is produced. The file you linked to is the same as the one I have.

I don't quite seem to understand how that "-h %s %d" works.
