Description enboig 2017-05-26 08:23:54 UTC
When I try to add a network folder named "R:\Comunicació\FOTOS" it is added, but returns an error and is not scanned. When returning to edit it the name has become "R:\Comunicaci?\FOTOS"; and "?" is not just a plain "?", its is inside a rhombus, as it is a unknown char.
