Re: problems importing pictures into etoys project

Hi Kathleen,
Many thanks for your help, but this is not the problem. The kid in question
knows very well how to insert pictures in etoys projects by dragging or by
inserting using the file dialog. The problem is that, at least in my
thought, the computer's username is interfering with the insertion of
images in some strange way due it has portugues characters, because
caption's the message error is referring to UTF8 something... I think it is
a problem to developers, so I'll get detailled information about this and
come again.
Thank you :-)

Luis
