Open folders with non-ASCII-characters ??

Hey all,

Max throws an error (-43) when attempting to open folders or files with non-ASCII-characters in the filename. For a big database which has to support foldernames containing any kind of character I am in need for a method that supports this. Has anyone got a good idea on how to bypass this limitation? If someone is inclined to sugest node.script I would be happy if they shared the according code since I am not familiar with its syntax. JS would be fine but I believe it would only work via the native Max class, which throws the same error, of course.

here's the example patch with non-ASCII folders:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
