In this case the error is not due to the space. Please note that zim never uses a space character in file names and ignores any files that do have spaces in the file name. The warning states that the file is ignored, the error probably is triggered by one of the subsequent files. Was the file with the space written by zim - or is it some other file you imported ? > Also, it would appear that a "bad" character *inside* a file also causes the > search to fail as well! At least, I'm guessing that is the cause of this > debug output because all my files use standard ascii chars - and no spaces:- ... Off course. Zim strictly uses utf-8 for page contents, any other encoding will cause it to fail. File written by zim should always be utf-8. > Please don't dismiss this as invalid. Zim is a great tool.

If it is an older version than 0.47 please verify if this is present in the latest version as well. If you do see this in zim 0.47 it is better to start a new bug report instead of appending here.
