To transfer filenames that have accented characters like accented "o" to metadata using -L worked. But now I have tested with other accented characters like accented "z" and it doesn't work, not even with the -L switch.

It'll not even try to do anything on the file. It will not recognize it. I tried with cmd /U and it didn't work also.

After all the work I had this is so frustating...

Does this mean that will be impossible to transfer filenames that have characters beyond Latin-1? Like Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I'm screwed...

To the author of Exiftool GUI: when selecting a file with a filename that contains accented "z" it'll throw a "List Index Out Of Bounds (0).

Hi jaypng,

When you say:

when selecting a file with a filename that contains accented "z" it'll throw a "List Index Out Of Bounds (0).

-can you be more specific? I mean, just by selecting such file(name) inside GUI, this can't happen... can you describe what you try to do when this message appears?
I ask, because I live in East Eurpoean country, where accented characters are used (not all, though) and never had problems when such characters are used in filenames.
