Source dataset: non-ASCII filenames causing trouble

cannot be transferred to the server correctly.

I suggest to add a warning to the user above this UI element in case any of the files has any non-ASCII characters in its name, recommending to use only letters, numbers, underscores and dashes.

When you add a file with non-ASCII characters, you get the following warning now:

A warning icon and tooltip is also shown in the table then:

"It is recommended to rename the file first using only letters, numbers, underscores and dashes."

Maybe even ...latin letters, digits... instead of ...letters, numbers...

true!
