Research direction
Start by locating the select_non_existing Lua script and review how it checks file paths on Windows. Reproduce the issue with existing images whose paths contain Cyrillic characters, then verify that only missing images are selected and compare the behavior with macOS if available.

Description
When Darktable's library contains images with cyrillic characters in the file path, the select_non_existing lua script selects those images in the library even though they exist on disk and display correctly in Darktable. It is a very similar to my earlier purge_nonexistent_images.bat issue.
It seems like the problem appears only on Windows, because when I tested on MacOS it worked fine.
Here's what gets selected after I click the "select non existing" button:
The expected selection would be:
- Dominant language
- Lua
- Stars

- Forks
