After latest comments we discussed it again and reached the following conclusion: these files or directories will be ignored.
If a filesystem event with a non-utf8 name is received, the following actions will be taken:
- Send a dbus signal to alert that it is being ignored with the following info:
- dirpath (unicode): the directory where the file or dir is located - ignored_path (bytes): the ignored file or dir name
- Log this ignore in a specific log file.
- Stop further event processing for this file/dir.
This will allow us to behave better for Lucid, and revisit later this decision when more variables were set.
