Hi, i have a problem with fsicongenerator.I run it the first time, set all folder paths, then closed it. Then I can't restart it because it pops up: Icon generator ran into an error! And I have this error in my log:

File "Utils.py", line 116, in setAddGameDirectoryToEditorConfig

File "C:\Users\smaurus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\encodings\cp1250.py", line 23, in decode

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 4180: character maps to <undefined>

Traceback (most recent call last):

The file/path evaluation in the FSIconGenerator is a little primitive.
It works best with default paths and plain ASCII names. That means no spaces, no special chars in any filename or install paths of FS, GE.
Also all should be on local drives, no webstorage (OneDrive or similar).

I have installed the game and giants editor on one drive and it still shows the same :/

The error message related to 'setAddGameDirectoryToEditorConfig' points to faulty FS game install. Probably you didn't install with admin rights, so the path to game install could not be read from Windows registry.

Also the messages related to "C:\Users\smaurus\.." indicate install errors. Is such a folder on your drive? Probably not, "smaurus" is "Stefan Maurus", Giants employee and the author of FSIconGenerator.

That means, your installations of FS game, GE and FSIconGenerator are crap.
Case you didn't know: for a proper and complete install you must use admin rights.
