Umlaut is not accepted by Pd. Some objects can even crash Pd as far as I remember from a long time ago ... Rename your folders.

Bug, I would like to know if someone else can reproduce the following error.
I create a directory namend "folder" that holds a patch image.pd consisting of a render graph with a [pix_image rockstar.jpg] object etc. and an image file rockstar.jpg in the same directory. It loads fine, unless the folder name is changed to contain an umlaut such as in "f lder".
Then the following error message is posted: GEM: recordQT: error -50 in FSMakeFSSpec() GemImageLoad: Unable to find file: C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/f lder/rockstar.jpg parID : 150470656 [pix_image]: loading of 'C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/f lder/quinn.jpg' failed
This is on Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.14393 and it would be nice to know if other Pd objects and other Windows versions are affected too before reporting it as bug.
