Before I get and (get an account on github in order to) report this as a Gem 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 "földer".
Then the following error message is posted: GEM: recordQT: error -50 in FSMakeFSSpec() GemImageLoad: Unable to find file: C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/földer/rockstar.jpg parID : 150470656 [pix_image]: loading of 'C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/földer/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.
Thank you for your help on this one! Peter
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.

umlauts should be accepted by Pd just fine. since a long time ago (approx. Pd-0.42).
(however, Gem uses a lot of libraries to do the actual opening. in peter's case that would be QuickTime. it could well be, that these have problems with umlauts (or Gem has problems communicating the umlauts to these libraries)).

Thanks for the explanation! Is there a way I could debug this further eg. by trying to load an image that does not use quicktime for loading (which one would that be)?
