Browse Folder not working

I am running phatch under windows XP using python 2.5.2 and wxpython 2.8.9.1 Phatch is a very nice and helpful tool and I am anxious to get it working properly

First, is unicode support required by phatch? I have never installed either of the above with unicode support.

After inputting an action list and attempting to execute the actions, the text field next to the browse folder button has two small square box characters in it. When I select a new folder to process the text field is updated with more garbage (ie non-ascii) characters. If I attempt to batch process the selection anyways, an error dialog appears saying 'Sorry, …. is not a valid path'.

Phatch had been working about 6 months ago when I last used it, but since then, both python and wxpython have been updated to the versions above. I am not sure what the previous configuration was.

Any idea of what is going wrong? Incidentally, the corresponding file dialog and dir dialogs are working the in the wxpython demo program and other applications I have.

Thanks

Yes, if you want to use non ascii characters. So please reinstall.

Thank you for the reply.

I have resolved the problem by installing the version of wxpython that supports 'unicode' rather than the 'ansi' version.

I was not, originally, attempting to use any non ascii characters to the best of my knowledge. I was merely selecting image files and folders as I previously undertaken. Selecting any folder would result in garbage characters displayed.

So I have no further insight into what caused the problem.

Thanks for your time.
