Bug #1631
closedUnicode character in path
0%
Description
on windows 7 64bit German,
if I want to save a file and the path contains a unicode character (äöü...) I get a file access error.
if I execute chirp in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, I get a "Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten no such file or directory: 'D:\.....\Ger\xc3\xa4te\....' error, which means 'ä' is not allowed in path.
this occurs during "Save" "Save as", Export does simply nothing, could be that the exception is simply caught there

seems like a bug/issue in python:

Workaround seems to be using directory with only ascii chars (i.e., no unicode) in full path. (Such as from alternate user account with no unicode in name).

duplicates Bug #272: Chirp won´t start on any of my systems: UTF-8 in path. Please leave further feedback there. Thanks!
