Hey Justin,
My bad, here is some more detail. The reason this is implemented is without
it, database entries that have for example swedish characters
*Adam Strömsted*come out looking like this

*Function:*
*from unicodedata import normalizedef normalize_filepath(file_path):
return normalize('NFC', file_path)*
I was thinking about using pathlib module, I have read it can help with a
lot of issues such as file encoding but I was worried about the speed
difference between it and scandir which is built into the os.walk module.
What are your thoughts on making the change?
