[Scidvspc-users] Unicode filename issues

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,
I received an error message from Sourceforge user Panos where he describes
not being able to open or create files inside his home directory on his
MS-Windows system.

  https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/discussion/959281/thread/aac9f1be/

I'm guessing the issue is related to having non-ascii unicode characters in
his user/home-directory name - which Scid has never been properly written
to handle, and indeed is done poorly by Tcl - but am not sure.

Does anyone have knowledge of this issue.

If unicode chars in the filename *is* the problem - we can add simple
checks in the GUI frontend to warn about such home directory names, but it
is not a good solution, and i can't really test/fix the issue myself.
Cheers, Steven
