Hi , I'm Japanese and I started pixinsight 2 years ago.
I find problems on PI about File I/O maybe related on setting of language.
Of course, I use PI on Japanese environment.(Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1)
So I investigate you to following issue, and I guess maybe Japanese character path is cause of these issue.
Issue : XISF error
1. I update PI and installed [20141130-macosx-x86_64-module.tar.gz]
(XISF file format module version 1.0.0.23(update))
2. I put my .fit file on path that [NOT INCLUDE] Japanese character, and open it on PI.
3. I save .fit file to .xisf, the save is success.

4. Next, I put my .fit file on path that [INCLUDE] Japanese character, and open it on PI.
5. I save .fit file to .xisf, the save is error and PI terminated abnormally...

6. I restart PI and I retry step2-3, but [xisf] option is not appear in save dialog.

* To recover this issue, I re-installed PI and I retry STEP1-6, I got same result.
So I want to use the path that include Japanese character, Can you fix this problems?
*Other file format(ex:fit,tiff,jpg...)are O.K.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks and Best Regard, Yukihiro Iyama.
