You replied only to me rather than the whole list. Adding the list to
this reply.
Libtiff provides the functions TIFFSetErrorHandler() and
TIFFSetWarningHandler() to support setting error and warning
callbacks, respectively. Since these are callbacks, you need to
immediately print or cache the reported error information since
libtiff continues execution (to point of return to your program) once
these functions return. Check the return status from libtiff
functions so that your program can quit processing on error.

Which platform are you on? If you're on Windows with Visual Studio,

The other idea is to ensure you have an error handler installed prior

Ultimately, the value needs to match the value used by the filesystem. any small encoding difference would cause a failure to match. A filename which "looks" the same might not be the same.
Some filesystems support multiple filename encodings and the filesystem remembers the encoding which was used.
The safest thing to do is to obtain the filename via an operating system API and pass that to libtiff.
