    Hi,

    i just installed PO 3.4 on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64 bit and created a new workflow including a transition that has german umlauts in its name. Seems like this is breaking GraphViz as since i encouter the following error each time i try to edit the workflow:

    Error: Invalid 2-byte UTF8 found in input. Perhaps "-Gcharset=latin1" is needed?

    Does anybody know how to fix that?

    Many thanks in advance

    Hi Thraecker,

    Sorry, I guess this is a relatively ugly issue on the OS level.
    Could you work around this with a transition name in US ASCII?
    Please remember: English is the language of Jesus Christ and the holy bible :-)

    Viele Grüße!
    Frank

    Hi

    I am getting the same error message when I click to view a simple workglow in the workflow admin

    We had a problem with your input:

          Error executing 'dot' GraphViz:
          
          We have encountered an error executing the GraphViz external appliction to render your workflow graph.
          Here is the detailed error message:

    Please can you help as I can not get workflows working on a windows 7 environment

    Hi JasonDev,

    You'll need to install "GraphViz" in your system using your Ubunto package manager.
    This package is used to render workflow graphs.

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    Sorry, Windows 8 ist not yet supported. It's also not a suitable platform to run ]po[...
    No idea what's going on there...

    Cheers,
    Frank
