Error with creating shapefile #4

Closed IsiRiesi closed 9 years ago

IsiRiesi commented 9 years ago

Hello!

I try to write my symbols into an shapefile and I get following error in the python code:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Isi/.qgis2/python/plugins\ProportionalCircles\proportionalcirclesdialog.py", line 118, in browse fileName = os.path.splitext(str(fileName0))[0]+'.shp' UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdc' in position 23: ordinal not in range(128)

What could be the Problem?

Thank you

Isabell

Hello, Thank you for your message. The problem is that you used a special character (in your case 'ü') either in the name of the file or the name of the directory/subdirectory where you tried to save the shapefile. This problem should be solved in version 1.2.1 I just uploaded. Lionel

Oh thank you very much.

Yes indeed, you are right..... I didn't thought of the folder name!

Now it is working!
