I've created two html files on my desktop. When I open the first one, everything
works fine - but when I try to open the other one, I get this error:
"The file /c:/WINDOWS/Ty%F6p%F6yt%E4/foo.html cannot be found. Please check the
location and try again."
(The garbled part is the word "Työpöytä", Finnish for "Desktop")
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create/put two html files on the desktop.
2. Open either one.
3. Try to open the other one.
Actual Results:
I got an error message saying
"The file /c:/WINDOWS/Ty%F6p%F6yt%E4/foo.html cannot be found. Please check the
location and try again."
Expected Results:
Both files should've been loaded.
I did a bit more research and realized that the bug is due to the umlauted
characters included in the path. The bug also occurs when there are umlauted
characters in the filenames.
Summary: Can only load one file (located on the desktop) at a time. → Umlauted characters in folder's name cause problems while loading files.

This occurs for "legacy" folders. I'm still encountering some atm.
Workaround: Quit TB. Find the folder in filesystem. Remove .msf, remove .sdb if empty. Rename folder (and possibly .sdb). Restart TB -> Works.
Apparently it does not concern folders with umlauts that were created after a certain version.
