Dear Matthew,
I tried to save a project to "Desktop" which had no parent folder, but the same
problem occurred. I think the non-ASCII character is not the only problem.
Still, I can save onto a usb from now on. Thank you very much.
Best,
Shinhyo

Hi Shinhyo,
Again, I would ask to check that the folder you are having trouble saving to
has any non-ASCII characters. For sure, ifeffit and demeter are not going to be
able to handle folder or file names with non-ASCII characters.
Larch is slightly better at this - it can work with files with names in
non-ASCII text encodings. To be clear, the situation with Larch is still not
ideal, especially on Windows, because
a) the base installation folder can contain only ASCII characters, and
cannot contain any spaces (apparently this is some problem
with other libraries or possibly some other variation on point b).
b) the concept of "localization" on Windows machines is sort of a mess and
many libraries (at least, from Python) don't handle this very well. For Larch,
we recently had to explicitly set locale to be "simple C / ASCII". That sort
(or should!?) mean that you can read/write files and folders with non-ASCII
characters, though I'm not certain that will work for all character encoding
sets. It's possible this will get better with time, but it's not something
that we can solve.
For ifeffit / demeter there is simply no hope for non-ASCII text to ever be
handled.

There are other characters that Windoze doesn't like in filenames: |\/*":<>?
