I supported Chinese students at University here in UK for the first 20 years of this Century and did find a few (but rare) instances like this in other applications; could the work-around I used then perhaps work now?: ask the student to set up a unique file structure, temporarily for 3.6,  which uses western European characters, all the way up the file hierarchy from file name to drive name. Images imported into this structure could later be moved, within dt, to the students preferred file organisation, once the fixed version of dt is officially available.

    BTW, the language setup for her computer is Chinese which makes it
    fun for me. This would not be an issue would it? DT obviously is

    for the help.


If the paths have Chinese characters (definitely non-ASCII), that's probably the reason of her problems. The Unicode support from Windows is different from Linux and the new import dialog surfaced it.
