Screentogif: Gifski encoding is failing when using non-latin characters

[u2shana]

how can i use gifski

[u2shana]

WIN7 it work

[NickeManarin]

Did you download the Gifski dll via the Options > Extras > "Download Gifski" button?

[u2shana]

Yes,but it didn't work in win10

[NickeManarin]

Can you show me a screenshot of the error?

[u2shana]

No error info,just stuck when encoding,and then the program disappear

[NickeManarin]

Hmm, without an error message this will be hard to be solved.
From what I can see, it's stuck on the first step of the encoding, like something is blocking from even starting.

Please, check if the Dll file is not being blocked by some anti-virus. Also, check if it's not marked as "Downloaded from the internet" (If you right click on the DLL, open Properties, check if there's a button that says something like "Unblock").

[u2shana]

Emmm,I used the same program and same gifski.dll in win10 1605.It encoding successed.
I'm sure the dll is not be block in my PC.

[u2shana]

Oh,I change the cache folder in other path which don't contain chinese(because the default path contain a chinese user name).Then,the Gifgski work.

[NickeManarin]

Oh, that explains it. Thanks :)

@clickwithclark Can you try downloading Gifski again? Using the download button from Options > Extras.

[clickwithclark]

just did, just getting the error again.

@u2shana @Kristinita @clickwithclark
There's a new test version which should solve this bug.
Download here: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/551

Can you people test it?
In order to test it, you need to delete the old Gifski and download again via Options > Extras, while using the test version of ScreenToGif.
