AllDup can't find dupes in folders with unicode characters.
If I paste a path into AllDup, it shows questionmarks for the unicode (asian) characters.
That is not really the problem for me. The problem is that AllDup doesn't search in these folders (it doesn't do any comparisons), and it says 0 files are searched (even if 100 files are in the folder, with 100 dupes).

Re: Can't find dupes in folders with unicode characters
With a path of: "C:\TMP\BRU\spaces\ñ á é í ó ú █ █ █ - Copy" (where the █ are, Unicode Character “█” (U+2588))
Drag & drop works.
Where a Paste will give you something like; "ñ á é í ó ú ¦ ¦ ¦ - Copy", which does not work.
Win7, en-US.
If you paste the parent directory, so "C:\TMP\BRU\spaces\", AllDup will search the "ñ á é í ó ú █ █ █ - Copy" directory, & will find the dups within, & will delete them - even though the the Path part displays as, "C:\TMP\BRU\spaces\ñ á é í ó ú ¦ ¦ ¦ - Copy".

2. drag&drop your folder from the Windows Explorer into the source folder list
Does this help?

I will test it the next time with drag&drop.
