Lua Script: ext_editor. Export to collection fails under Windows 11.

[Juangg77]

I've got an installation of Darktable 4.2 under Windows 11 Pro. I've installed git and the extension "ext_editor" through Darktable's script manager. When I try to export a picture to the current collection, the program throws the following error message: Error moving file C:\Users(my username)\AppData\Local\Temp(filename) I've realised that the TIFF file is created in the Temp folder but it seems the collection in Darktable is not updated with the new file. My Images folder is backed up in Microsoft Onedrive so the pictures are stored locally but synched with the cloud, I don't know if that could be a problem but I'm giving all the possible details. I don't know what the issue could be.

The details of my installation are as follows: darktable version : 4.2.0 OS : Windows 11 Pro CPU: Ryzen 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory : 16 Gb Graphics card : Integrated AMD Vega Graphics

Update: It seems that the issue has to do with the fact that my Images folder is under Onedrive. I've tried moving some pictures to a completely offline folder and the script works with them. Should I close the report or is there any way to fix it?

Go ahead and leave it open for now. I'll have to gen up a Win 11 machine and test it against one drive and see what is really happening and if there is any way to fix it.

Does username has only pure english letters or it has language specific letters ?

Look at https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts/issues/402

International letters only. There's no special character in it. In the Onedrive path, there is an "á". I'm Spanish, so the pictures are stored in a folder named "Imágenes". Could that be the problem?

Put original file on OneDrive to another folder with only pure english letters and try again. As I observe temp dir on drive C should be with only english letters, original folder should be with only english letters and file name should be with only english letters. LUA is based on C and function which is used for copying/moving files do not recognized unicode but only old character coding (as I understud this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54118507/lua-how-to-make-os-rename-os-remove-work-with-filenames-containing-unicode-ch discussion) .

Thanks a lot DarekGH, that did the trick. I didn't realised that those characters would be a problem.

I hope here is a solution https://gist.github.com/Egor-Skriptunoff/2458547aa3b9210a8b5f686ac08ecbf0#file-utf8_filenames-lua But I am not a programmer and I don't know what and where (which lua file) I should enter to achieve desired result.
