cannot convert multicharacter to fit UTF-16LE into UTF-8

Post by deployer »

When trying to capture an image the error
cannot convert multicharacter to fit UTF-16LE into UTF-8
is displayed when coming across file names such as Menú Inicio. This does not occur when using version 1.9.1, however using the latest 1.11.0 it does. Do I need to do something different with the newest version?

Thanks

Can you please provide the exact error message, not a paraphrased one? Also, what operating system is this on (Linux/Windows/Mac/etc.)? And if you happen to be directly capturing an NTFS volume (via a block device), which version of libntfs-3g is wimlib linked to, and did it change when you upgraded wimlib?

This is a direct capture of an NTFS volume on Linux. Both versions were linked to ntfs-3g 2016.2.22. I will try and get the exact error message. It was passed along to me by a 3rd party and that is the error they sent me.
