I tried to load an OpenSim model file with an additional Geometry dir. The file path included a directory name containing a special character (ë, or e with a diaeresis, rather specific to the Dutch language).
This produced the following error:
"Could not construct a model from D:\Profiles\Windows\Desktop\ë\PreOp_cust_0.osim.
Object: ERR- Could not open file D:\Profiles\Windows\Desktop\ë\PreOp_cust_0.osim. It may not exist or you don't have permission to read it."
Strangely, it is possible to import a SIMM model. A correct OpenSim model will be produced, but OpenSim will refuse to open it with this message:
"Error opening converted model file D:\Profiles\Windows\Desktop\ë\PreOp_cust_0.osim"
This behaviour seems to be caused by the special character ë being included somewhere on the file path. It can be worked around by moving the model somewhere else.
I know the easiest solution is not to use these characters in directory names. Still, I think the error messages should be made more specific so if people run into the same problem in the future they can quickly find the cause.
Additional information:
OS is Windows 7 pro 64-bit, NTFS-partitioned
