F-Engrave problems

[Szasza880210]

HI
YEs i use a (1.02) version.
Yeah sorry I did not write it, the problem is in image mode. Thanks for the advice but failed again, the error message is the same. Simpler images, all right, but not the more detailed images. Thank you for help, for now I use Simpler images. And i wait for a fix or a new version of the program.

Right now I am not sure what is causing the error. I have not been able to replicate the problem. If you are willing you could send a sample image file that exhibits the problem so I could try to replicate the problem. (The best way to send an image is via e-mail to the e-mail address in the F-Engrave help menu.)

I think I have found the cause of the error. If the input image file name contains a non ASCII character (i.e. A character with a decimal value greater than 128) F-Engrave will throw the reported error:
"Unicode encode error: ASCII codec cant encode character u '/ xe9 in position 56: ordinal not in range (128)"

As a work around the input image file can be renamed to something with only ASCII (English alphabet) characters before importing the image into F-Engrave.

I will include a fix for this problem in the next version of F-Engrave.

Could I ask a quick question scorch
I have installed your program on my office machine ( win7) no problems so far
when i come to install it on my workshop machine( win xp sp3) i can't get it run after installing

The dialogue goes " the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect reinstalling may help""

Any ideas?

as an aside if I try and install on a laptop (win vista) it works fine

But I do need teh program on my workshop machine
