Hi, it seems I have a problem with utf8. 

I attached a screenshot. 

In the file list the name of the Folder has encoding issues (Muenchen Roadtrip). However, in the prediction in the path field the name is shown correctly. 

Are there some settings I could change to fix this? 

best regards, pete

How is the drive mounted? (run `mount` to find out)

Try mounting with the 'utf8' option (check `man mount`)

/dev/sda3 on /media/pete/Games type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

It was automatically mounted through kde's dolphin. The folder name works properly in dolphin though.
