Summary0017731: Scribus crashes with EXCEPTION_ACESS_VIOLATION due to umlaut composition in file names of embedded PDF documents
DescriptionMac OS and Windows seem to handle character encoding and keyboard mapping for umlauts (ä, ö, ü) differently. When a PDF document contains an umlaut in the file name that was created under Mac OS, one can embed the PDF document in an image frame in Scribus under Windows, but as soon as one wants to export the document to a PDF document, Scribus crashes with the error messages EXCEPTION_ACESS_VIOLATION.
Steps To Reproduce- create a Scribus document on Windows
- embed a PDF document with a file name containing an umlaut created on Mac OS
- export the Scribus document to a PDF document

Additional information. Running Scribus with the "-console" flag reveals the following (when embedding a PDF document named "Mu"hle.pdf"):
