I think that may be due to another filename encoding problem. The default place 
for storing config data is the directory ~/.config/emelfm2. If the "~" expands 
to a name (/home/yourname) which has any non-utf8 characters (that includes 
plain ascii 0-9,a-Z) then there may be a problem, depending on the specific 
character(s).

Until revised code is released (sadly, I missed the 0.1.7 release) I suggest a 
mechanism to bypass the problem chars:

1. If the directory ~/.config/emelfm2 does not exist, then make it.
2. Create a link to that directory, from somewhere in your filesystem that does 
not have any "difficult" chars in its name (in say, \home). The link will 
become (in this example) /home/emelfm2
3. Always run emelfm2 with a commandline switch -c or --config. Staying with 
the example,

 emelfm2 -c /home/emelfm2
OR
 emelfm2 --config=/home/emelfm2
