On my Win11 system, ARen is able to create txt o csv files, but is unable to open the same files. The following error message appears: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target
multi-byte code page. https://i.postimg.cc/pLhT2R6P/Screenshot-2024-03 -22-073441.png Notepad and Excel open these files correctly, and the same files saved by Notepad are loaded correctly by Aren. Steps to reproduce: 1) Populate the filename list 2) Save the list as TXT or CSV file 3) Clear the filename list 4) Load the saved file |

That should of course work, but I might have forgotten a character set check. I will take a look. |

Same here... no joy. Both 3.94 and .95 |

I have discovered that the problem arises when the list of filenames contains special characters such as ñ, è, î, etc. Furthermore, non-standard characters such as Cyrillic, Asian, or others are not recognised, resulting in question marks in the saved text file.
I am awaiting the fixed build and I hope that this issue can be easily resolved. |

Hi Styb, I got the same error and I don't have any of those types of characters in my filenames. |

Hello, I have run a number of tests on my system and the problem with the txt or csv files only occurs when I use a filename that contains special characters. So it seems to be clear that the problem depends on a number of things, not just special characters. |

Any news? I just reproduced this issue in the new release of ARen, 3.95 release 3.

Yes, you are right. I have not worked on this yet. I expect it available for the 4.0 release, where it will be possible to choose which codepage to use when exporting and importing CSV and TXT files. |

Check out version 3.95 release 4. Is the problem solved for you in this release? |

Hello, I have installed the release #4 on my system and I do not have any problem with the use of the TXT files.
The problem occurs when using the CSV files, as in previous versions of the ARen. |
