getFileNames corrupts file names that use "special chars"

See: http://pastebin.com/QcmkNcSk for example code

I would suggest we try to "decode" each of the files.

Reported to Qt: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32897

Philip, it seems to work now when using the given test script:

[PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'/home/user/#123.txt'), PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'/home/user/diff')]

mahfiaz,
Thanks for that, but could you test the paste bin script linked to in my email (https://lists.openlp.io/pipermail/openlp-dev/2017-June/000273.html) please? Its PyQt5!

Also which platform are you on?

I just tested on Fedora 25 (gnome shell) with python 3 and PyQt5 installed with the package manager and also on OS X El Capitan with python 3 and PyQt5 installed with macPorts. On both systems it works just fine.

Output:
`[['/home/jasperge/openlp_bug/#1234.xml', '/home/jasperge/openlp_bug/abc.xml'], 'All Files (*)']`

Tested on OS X El Capitan with python 3, and PyQt 5 installed using brew.

Works perfectly.

I've tested on Ubuntu 17.04 (Unity) and Windows 7.

Anybody with KDE, just to round up testing?

I tested it on KDE, works perfectly.
