I would point out that the functionality for me fails differently if I (1) select a file by typing its path, (2) select a directory containing a file with foreign characters. I have provided my directory structure in the .tar files.

I just wanted you to test a version with a better error message,
anyway, with the files you sent me, I can reproduce the error and thus
fix it, so thank you so much for your help.

This is in fact a file system error: the files on your system should
be in encoded utf-8, but these album filenames are encoded in
iso8859-1. In my system, the filenames appear with a "?" symbol on
every accented letter.

I think I know how to fix this, so expect a new version soon, I will
recontact you as soon as I release it.

And really thank you so much !
