No unicode in SMB share descriptions
It seems that TC assumes that descriptions in SMB shares are always ANSI-encoded. It always shows those converted to CP_ACP, so all descriptions that are not fit in CP_ACP codepage, are shown as question marks.
The share names itself show unicode names, as expected.
I have checked how it looks in windows explorer - it shows correct chars (supports unicode).
Is there any chance to correct this?

Where does TC show SMB share descriptions?

Re: No unicode in SMB share descriptions
Share descriptions are shown in the Size column when TC shows the contents of a server \\server. If there is no description for a share, TC just shows the generic <DIR>.

Ah, thanks, I never used these comments. I can confirm that it currently uses ANSI functions.

I have already changed it to Unicode in the meantime for the upcoming TC 9.50.
