P2O reports the applet is out of order because of ascii

[Dirk]

the applet crashes immediatelly after install process. dialog appears 'Diese Erweiterung ist defekt ascii'. In file of installation is containing a german character 'ä' because of the account of the logged-in user (folder name). maybe this is reason for the error similar to the bug of pre-poster?

Thank you for your report. Can you paste the full text displayed in the error dialog? It would be better if the message were in English, in order to get messages in English go to Settings > Options > Locale, check "Override system locale", select "U.S. English" and restart qgis.

Also it could be useful to know your operating system and QGIS version.

[Goyo (goyodiaz)]

I have released a new version, please let me know if it fixes the issue.

Hello,
thanks for fast troubleshooting. Just it seems to work in my system
(Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1)
Before new installing the following messages appears.
Sincerely yours,

That looks like an problem with the processing plugin. Is the points2one issue solved?

If so, you may want to file a bug against processing or qgis (not sure who is to blame for this).

[Dirk (dirk-laemmel-w)]

sorry, that was the note which appears after new installing of P2O and
working with it and other plugins in QGIS 2.8....
the trackback report for P2O is lost ...
but anyway your fixing solved my problem with p2o. Thanks a lot ...
