1.4.4: accent in IPTC data

XnView: MP 1.4.4 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64bit

When setting IPTC data with accents on several pictures, they are badly saved. When setting the same data on only one picture, it works.
It worked like a charm on the previous versions.
BTW, is it possible to download an old version ?

To reproduce :
- Select 2 pictures or more
- CTRL-I
- Set "Title", for instance, as "Vallée"
- Click "Write to all files"
- You get "Vallée"
- If you click "Write", it works but only for the current pictures...

you need to check Settings>Metadata - Encoding

I changed IPTC settings from Locale to UTF-8 and it's ok now.

My current settings for IPTC :
- Default encoding "Locale"
- "Use UTF-8 to write IPTC fields" checked

I changed default encoding to "UTF-8" and it's ok now.

Thanks a lot !
