OM 7.1 can't launch patches

I downloaded the 7.1 version on my Macbook air with intel. The instalation was smooth, but i can’t launch the patches I’ve got from my teacher.

Hi,

This means that they have some strange characters. Can you send me the patches so i may fix them.

This error showed, when I hit the button File and than New Patch

On what system you are, ie i know this is a macosx splash screen, but is your system in a foreign language?

I have MacOS Ventura 13. 1. and I have system in Czech language.

Ok,
so it might be it.
Can you just send me the path to your workspace ?
In case there are non latin-1 characters?

And you can test this:
change language settings to English, and run OM. Om doesn’t support non-latin characters. We are testing a new version that might support it But it is under testing for the moment.

It is working! I just create folder, where is no special symbol in the path to it, and it is working! Thank you very much!

Great.
Yes please take notice, OM accepts only latin-1 characters. So if there is a path or a patch named with other characters, this will not work. However, we are as i said testing a solution that uses UTF-8. But for the moment, it is not ready.
