Error description

• Having "Language for non-unicode characters" Windows setting,
  set for "Sweedish (Sweden)" and inside Language file from

Local fix

Problem summary

• Having "Language for non-unicode characters" Windows setting,
  set for "Sweedish (Sweden)" and inside Language file from
  <install folder>/bin/release containing only SWE, the Mainframe
  members from a library containing Sweedish national characters
  were scanned and brought on disk correctly, but they were not
  displayed correctly in GUI and neither could be opened.
  

Problem conclusion

• The national Sweedish characters were altered incorrectly during
  a conversion when adding them to the project. This conversion
  seemed to have ignored the "Language for Non-Unicode characters"
  from Windows, on some operating systems ( could reproduce it on
  Windows Server but not on Windows 11).
  Code was modified to explicitely use the system default encoding
   when adding files to the project, although usually tis is not
  necessary.
  

Temporary fix
