Description

Hello,
I have a Script that processes various files but every time a Filepath contains a Umlaut (äöüÜÖÄ) the App removes them from the Path and the Script fails. Wich is weird because i have a seperate Nextcloud server (but a older version) for Testing where the App does not remove the Umlauts and the Script works perfectly.

I just recently setup the Nextcloud where i encounter this Problem. Is it possible that i made some mistakes in the setup Process that causes this to happen? I searched for hours but could not find documentation on this problem.

I dont know if its a bug for newer versions or if im just too dumb to see my error but help would be very appreciated.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Setup Workflow_Script to echo filepath to logfile
  2. do smth to File with Umlauts (e.g. Müller.pdf)
  3. wait for cron.php or execute
  4. Open logfile
Expected behaviour

path in logfile is,
some/file/called/müller.pdf

Actual behaviour

path in logfile is,
some/file/called/mller.pdf

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by running the Workflow Script app against a file such as Müller.pdf, then compare processing through cron.php with the expected logfile path. Inspect the app's filepath handling and verify that umlauts are preserved in the logged path; the issue is fixed when the logfile contains the original filename.
