Here is the traceback, after the last change you sugested:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pablo/workspace/E-Dictor/src/MainFrame.py", line 1057, in OnClose
self.SavePreferences()
File "/home/pablo/workspace/E-Dictor/src/MainFrame.py", line 1069,
in SavePreferences
self.cfg.write(codecs.open(self.properties_file,'w','utf-8'))
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 373, in write
(key, str(value).replace('\n', '\n\t')))
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 638, in write
return self.writer.write(data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 303, in write
data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
27: ordinal not in range(128)
So, in "str(value)" the content is a folder name with an accented character (Á).
