On Windows loading metadata from images with non ASCII characters in their
path failed. Part of the fix is in gexiv2 that now converts the path from
utf-8 to utf-16 on Windows.
However we were still sending a localized path to gexiv2 where it was
expecting utf-8. This caused the conversion and thus loading of metadata
to fail. Fix is to remove the special handling for Windows and use the
utf-8 filename.
