[Qgis-user] qgz format and non-ascii project names

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

I can’t confirm as I don’t have a computer in front of me but I have had multiple problems in the past with people making paths with spaces or accents in characters. (Including the user path in windows.). Best to stay with no spaces and only “English” characters. This does not only apply to Qgis but it is probably worse because of all the plugins.  Not every programmer takes the time to look at character tables in their code. (I am guilty as charged...)
