Thanks, I will try this out.

Not directly related, but I would be intersted, if you try your ulipad,
create on a windows xp partition a file for example äöü.txt (latin-1 or cp1252),
can ulipad show this file on linux correctly in your file open dialog?

Do you have otherwise a function or plugin dealing with showing filenames
in wxpython self? This would be very interesting for me! :)
