I'm glad you found a solution. I wish that Athena played better with languages that use unicode text. I imagine that there are plenty of places where I make -- intentionally or not -- that kind of assumption about user-supplied text. So there are probably other places where Athena might break for the same reason. The general solution of making a place on your computer that English/western characters in the folder names is a good way of avoiding this sort of problem. Again ... that's a functional solution, but not a very appropriate one. B On 11/5/19 8:53 PM, FonsPaul wrote:

I wanted to update the mailing list on my encounter with a concatenation bug. I discovered that the cause was having (Japanese) Chinese characters in the pathname. Moving the folder solved the problem.
