I understand that decoding that might be technically infeasible, because of Qt
and QString. But can't we at least substitute it with ? so it appears like
C?digo or something?

Not recovering the name properly, that I can understand. Giving strange and
mysterious errors, and not letting you delete/move the files, that doesn't make
any sense.

It reminds me of windows 98, where you created a folder on the command-line,
using iso8859-15 characters, and then windows couldnt' access or delete it, so
it was a (lame) way of keeping some files, or messing with users by creating
something they couldn't delete. And that was very lame and bad.
