Special characters on contentDir

[pko]

I run minim server on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa and control it from minim watch Windows 10. My content dir contains a special character (it is "/Disco/MP3 Clásica"). Initially it worked, but after restart it doesn't. Minim watch shows content dir as "/Disco/MP3 Cl??sica". I changed it to "/Disco/MP3 Clásica" on properties in minim watch and restart but still didn't worked, it complained about a missing cache file. I had to change the directory mame (and contentDir) to "/Disco/MP3 Clasica", but I would have preferred to keep the ortographically correct name that contains the character "á".

I have tried this with MinimWatch on Windows and MinimServer on Linux and everything is working correctly. What is the platform default charset on your Linux system? You can find this near the start of the MinimServer log.
