[PD] Windows in Chinese, problem with paths

[Dan Wilcox]

Maybe try a test with a folder / path with UTF-8 characters on your system. As IOhannes said, Pd should be able to handle it Ok.

I'd also recommend they turn on Verbose and open Pd again so they can send you the whole text outputted with Pd showing which paths it's trying. If we see broken strings there, then we'll have a better clue.
