Version 4.3.1.4 fixes the problems noted on the two screenshots. And
also some problems when using the rename/symlink/duplicate functions.
Since files created (not moved/copied) by xffm are done in utf-8, some
mixed euc-jp/utf8 paths can be created. These are displayed correctly by
xffm but might give rise to some confusion. Say for example that you
duplicate a directory. Since the duplicate is created in utf-8, you
might see 2 directories with the same name (one is utf8 and the other
euc-jp). So now names that are not utf8 valid are displayed in another
color.
