I am using GIO bindings instead of Ada.Directories for this reason.

Form is a system-dependent parameter.

I don't remember if I tested it for that when I wrote it. It is very
unlikely that Windows implementation uses UTF-8. I guess it is ASCII
(A-calls of Win32 API), which GNAT's implementation of Ada.Directories
makes = it is broken.

You could use GIO bindings, they should work as expected in a
system-independent way. They also support MIME types. See Dir_Open,
Dir_Read_Name, Dir_Close.
