The safest practice is in any case not to use non-ASCII characters (nor spaces) in file names, since above-ASCII characters are not portable between encodings, and different operating systems may use different encodings. If you are interested I have a Perl script which does its best to customizably 'transliterate' filenames between other encodings (UTF-8 by default) and ASCII, and rename files, adding a unique number in case of conflicts in the resulting names. It can also create or add to a YAML file mapping between transliterated names and original names, and has a mode for 'reverting' names. It does by default back up files under their original files into a directory of your choice (by default 'renamed-TIMESTAMP' in the current directory.)

I had reason to use pandoc again today and could verify that when a filename contains 'ä' tab-completion works when used /ahead/ of this character but not when used /after/ the character /up until '_' occurs in the filename/.

ls -al works correctly even when pandoc fails above.

Can anyone else confirm problems with tab-completion?
