#4353: Picard fails to decode some filenames

------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
My music collection uses UTF-8 encoding for filenames with Umlauts. Picard
just ignore these files when my locale is not UTF-8 (happens when I use
ssh -f to start picard) and writes

W: 140642495821552 21:56:45 Failed to decode filename:
'/storage/julian/audio/electronica/welle.erdball/1998 - Der Sinn Des
Lebens/04 - Gib Mir Mein Gef\xc3\xbchl Zur\xc3\xbcck.mp3'

to stdout. Expected behavior would be to see a file with broken encoding
instead of no file at all.

This is on Gentoo Linux on amd64, Python 2.5.2, and Picard 0.11.

When you say that your locale is not UTF-8, what is it?

Your python script says:
ANSI_X3.4-1968

locale says:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Comment (by david.hilton):

I've had a very similar problem; basically, I forgot to set my locale at
all, and picard would die. I submitted a patch that should at least tell
the user that there is an error. I'll also unset my locale and take a
look at the code to see if I can't do something about it.

In the meantime, could you try manually setting your LC_* variables before
running picard and report what happens?

Thanks

Setting the locale manually works.
