Description wienerj 2014-01-07 10:20:43 UTC
The problem is very similar to the problem reported in bug report #721576. 

If the path of the gnucash data file contains specific hungarian characters (e.g ö, ű, ő, ...) the gnucash reports a error ("file://E:\Magánügy(1)\P\GnuCash\Vagyon1.gnucash fájl elemzése során hiba történt" - meaning that while analyzing the vagyon1.gnucash file an error occured).

I experienced the same problem with version 2.4.14, but not with 2.4.13 before.

Sorry: one closing bracket is missing. The corrected text is:

'If the path of the gnucash data file contains specific hungarian characters
(e.g ö, ű, ő, ...) the gnucash reports a error
("file://E:\Magánügy(1)\P\GnuCash\Vagyon1.gnucash fájl elemzése során hiba
történt") - meaning that while analyzing the vagyon1.gnucash file an error
occured).'

I have the very same problem with portuguese characters. The file cannot be parsed is the error message:

There was an error parsing the file file://C:\Users\Gilberto\Google Drive\Dropbox\Contabilidade\01 - GnuCash\01 - Book Produção\Financeiro_Beto_BR_Produção_XML.gnucash

2.4.13 works. Did not test 2.4.14

Moving the file to the desktop and renaming it to something without special characters (like financeiro.gnucash) works with 2.6.0

I am on Windows 8.1

I have the same problem with special character "ç".

"Ocorreu um erro analisando o arquivo file://C:\Users\Renato\Dropbox\Finanças\gnucash\pessoal.gnucash."

Gnucash: 2.6.0
Windows 8.0 64bits
Comment 4 Jacques Beckand 2014-01-11 13:54:09 UTC
Same problem with French accented characters in the data file path
Looks like a regression of Gnucash 2.6, as was OK with 2.4.13

Windows 7 
Gnucash 2.6.0

I tried regression to 2.4.15 and 2.4.14. The same error.

Only works in 2.4.13 or older...
