wxMac 2.8.7: problem reading date of files with unusual chars in file name

[Paul Koning]

What you were seeing is a case of mixing up my mailing lists... :-(

Anyway, it may be that you have the same sort of problem here: something is changing the encoding of the name string, and OSX insists on exactly one encoding which isn't the one you're getting.

If you have a way to generate them, try encoding the name with separate accents, and also encoding it as a combined character with accent in a single code.  I think you'll find that one of these works and the other does not.

I am not sure that I understand what you have written. Is SVN just an 
example?

Anyway, if I look at the same files with the Finder I can see them 
correctly, so I suppose that it should be possible to do the same with 
wxWidgets. Am I missing anything?
