Yes, I put in in. (And you luckily hit a Friday to place your smiley :-) ) I’m not so easy with your proposal to remove the error handler. I think we have a real problem here: the encoding of the path names in preferences is undefined if I’m not mistaken. Of course we have to fix it in some way - but I don’t know enough of python (obviously) to make the right proposal.
