Is the filename UTF-8 encoded? Check 'convmv'.

I don't know. I'm using Linux Mint 19 as is. I installed convmv. What test do you want me to make ?
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2018-12-25 03:23:22 UTC 
Please try:

cd /home/seb/
LC_CTYPE=C ls -b T*chargements

and paste the output here.

seb@seb-HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC:~$ cd /home/seb/
seb@seb-HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC:~$ LC_CTYPE=C ls -b T*l*chargements

Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2018-12-25 14:28:26 UTC 
Oh, I forgot that ls will list the contents of the directory, not its name. Try:

LC_CTYPE=C ls -b -d T*chargements
Comment 6 Sebastien 2018-12-25 20:44:25 UTC 
I was wondering why this particular command ^^.
This time, the command returns :

T\303\251l\303\251chargements
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2018-12-26 02:38:47 UTC 
Okey, this is UTF-8, so it should work. I am out of ideas, because I don't know the cfits library. Thanks for the investigation so far.

What is sure, is the relation with special character in the path. If I move the same image in /home/seb for exemple, it works perfectly.

Cannot reproduce with 3.5.5 using the exact name Téléchargements as the directory.
