Issues with umlauts

[dahanbn]

I have some issues with using pandoc-mode for files or directories with umlauts.

If I convert the file TestUmlaute_äöü.md via pandoc-mode to docx than I get a file named TestUmlaute_äöü.docx.

If I put a file into a directory with an umlaut than I get the following error message:

pandoc.exe: c:/.../Uml\307\317ut//TestbriefDaniel.docx: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Here was the file TestbriefDaniel.md in a directory with the name Umläut.

Because both cases work with running pandoc from SublimeText I guess, somehow there is something wrong with the encoding of the file names and how Emacs or pandoc-mode calls pandoc.exe.

I use pandoc 2.0.2 64 bit on Windows 10 64 bit, with Emacs 25.3.1 64-bit. Pandoc-mode 20171204.1441.

I'm stumped by this issue. I don't have this issue myself, but I'm on Linux and I use utf-8 everywhere. At some point in the process, the utf-8 encoded names are interpreted as if they are latin1. I can't really imagine where this would happen.

Could you post the contents of the pandoc-mode output buffer (which is called " *Pandoc output*", without the double quotes but with a space at the beginning)? That might help me understand what's going on.

There isn't much output in the *Pandoc output* buffer:

pandoc.exe: d:/\307mlaut//pandoc-umlaut-test.docx: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

How do you create the filename?
