[squeakland] problems importing pictures into etoys project

[Luis Valente]

Hi Karl
I'll appreciate your attention. So I tryied to simulate the error and it
dont occurs on my system to. But, i remember another etoys user on Master
in Education who had similar error. Do that:
1 - put Etoys-to-go in a folder named for example Etoys-tó-go (note the o
accute);
2 - try to start Etoys (in my system - vista 32 - etoys.exe can't reach the
.image, so I give the path and it starts correctly but don't write the path
in the ini file
3 - while etoys is running imported a picture file whithout problems;
4 - when I attempt to save the project I got the error UTF8 shown in
attached printscreen. Also include the log hoping this could help.
(note that this problem is very frequent. I'm teaching etoys to school
teachers which reported same error serveral times)
Thanks again,
Luis[image: Imagem intercalada 1]
