[Bug 1552219] Re: Windows install not working if Users\\[username] has non-english characters
Version 2.0.6, Windows 7 32bit, cyrillic symbols in path -- same effect.
As workaround - edit info.py in classes, there can be set another path
or some path translation.

Title:
Windows install not working if Users\\[username] has non-english
characters
Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
New
Bug description:
If the username of Windows (7, but very likely reproduceable in later
versions) includes non-english characters, such as scandics, the first
start of the OpenShot fails to launch, and further startups fail to
create [?] the directory in the "Users" folder, and therefore
rendering the software un-usable, as said folder can not be renamed to
not include the illeagal characters after a username is created.
Personally I wouldn't mind omiting the creation of files in the
"Users" folder by creating the files in the installation folder, as
then the default files and folders would refer to the drive installed,
that may differ from the system drive.
