Figure out a way to mitigate the JS Booster issue #4

JS Booster breaks when your Anki User directory path contains non-ASCII characters. For AJATTers who have switched their OS to Japanese, such as I have, this leads to breakage when their Documents folder (which is where Anki stores its media) has been renamed to a Japanese counterpart. Such is the case on my Ubuntu partition.

I see three potential solutions:

  1. Make step-by-step instructions on how to modify your Anki path and username.
  2. Fix JS Booster and resubmit it to AnkiWeb.
  3. Make some kind of conversion script to reconfigure Anki in such a way that it won't break.

Number 2 is attractive since it's the most hands-off approach, but the others still deserve attention.
