QCAD Community Edition:
Hi!
I created a document at home with QCAD and added text in Russian language. The OS is OpenSuse 42.1. Now I need to edit the document at work on Windows 7 and I can't open the document because an error appear!
I think this happend because Linux version of QCAD has put text to the document in UTF-8 in style of: 04_\U+00CD\U+00EE\U+00EC\U+00E5\U+00F0\U+00D3\U+00F7\U+00E0\U+00F1\U+00F2\U+00EA\U+00E0
but in Windows 7 codepage is Windows-1251. So I need to change QCAD to anothe software to exclude this issue because I can't to work. QCAD error looks like: Can't open the file.....import error!
I supposed that common software ensured me from different errors and troubles, but actually not!
Can you solve the problem?

Can you try to move the file to your desktop and load it from there? The problem is more likely related to international characters in the file path than to the file itself.

WOW! it's really works! I moved the file to D:\temp\... and it opened without problem.
Thank you very much for very fast reaction on request!
