781	Unicode should not be used for accessing file system on Win32	chorny		"Error:

Tried to change setting 'default_projects_directory' to non-existant path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Sasha\Мои документы' at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Padre/Wx/Dialog/Preferences.pm line 978

Strange symbols mean 'My Documents' in Russian/utf8. Padre stores directory in configuration using Unicode. And checks that this directory exists in Unicode too - in Windows this fails because it uses win1251 to store.

From Padre::Config:
{{{
	if ( $type == Padre::Constant::PATH and not -e $value ) {
		Carp::croak(""Tried to change setting '$name' to non-existant path '$value'"");
	}

}}}
