I use terminal :-)

and NFD), the send me an e-mail to my work adress

while trying to help our OSX users, I have come across the following issue:=
<br>
<br>
When a filename created under linux or windows contains letters with<br>
diacritics (German, in my case), the finder will briefly display<br>
something and then show the entire folder as empty. From the shell,<br>
everything works OK. I understand that this must be due to the Unicode<br>
NFC vs. NFD issue with the finder mentioned e. g. in the windows client<br>

How do other people deal with this? I am not a MacOS expert in any way,<br>
but I thought about recommending some other file manager to my users, so<br=

Any help is appreciated... Happy new year 2014,<br>
