I have a smart playlist to play random tracks from my collection, but exclude
some folders. One of the folders includes special characters (Hörspiele), but
tracks from that folder appear in the playlist.

I have verified, that I can not create a smart playlist to use only tracks from
that folder, but it works with other folders, e.g. it is possible to create a
playlist playing random tracks from the folder "Dj Mixes".

The complete rule reads

"Location" "does not contain" "Hörspiele"

This appeard after upgrading exaile from stable (0.2.14+debian-2.3) to
testing(0.3.2.0-0.1), my filesystem is ext4, locale is de_DE.UTF-8.

The file

~/.local/share/exaile/smart_playlists/name_of_playlist.playlist

prints the rule when viewing with less as

aVH<F6>rspiele

when editing with vim as

aVHörspiele

I have not set any encoding parameters in ~/.vimrc
