Reply of Klaus Ethgen <Klaus at Ethgen.ch>:

Well, that simply is not true. It works pretty well if one is looking at
the common workflow. The command line encoding would be always the same
than the enconding of the filename itself. Otherwise the user will not
be able to access the file. I tried to find a use case where you would
have different encoding on the command line than on filesystem but I
cannot find any reasonable one.

So simply using the filename without any encoding change would solve
that problem. I am one of the upstream developers of geeqie and yes, we
also had problems like that in the past. But that was clearly a bug and
is solved present days. So I think I really know what I am talking
about. However, there might exist a problem with that if the user input
comes from a GUI input and not from the command line. There you really
might have a problem with that. But usually the filename comes from a
selection box that solved the problem here too.

It is fully ok for me that cups uses utf-8 internal but the interface to
the user should be consistent.
