Here's an important note -- although the file name you GET from a
FolderItem's Name property is UTF8, don't try to SET that property using
a UTF8 string!  And don't try to use the FolderItem's Child method with a
UTF8 string.  It won't work.

Be careful about this warning. Thomas has seen some apparent bugs that we are not able to reproduce here. In our tests, Child and setting Name with UTF-8 strings DOES work. The only known bug with the FolderItem not supporting Unicode text is with CreateAsFolder, and I believe that's fixed for 4.5.1.

We're currently investigating the other issues Thomas has run into, but it has not yet been determined that the problems are in RB itself.

Best,
