Re: [PyMOL] problem to open a pdb or mol2 file

Hi Alain,

I think this problem is raised because you try to open the file,
whose path includes non-us-ascii charactors.

Pymol (and many other programs) doesn't recognize "multilingual" path,
so when you specify the file under such folder, pymol will return some errors.

To resolve this error, copy the file to the root directory of C:\ etc.,
and try to open it again.

If you'd like to open the file without copying, go to 'Start' menu and
select 'Run' command, enter the command:
x:\path\to\pymol\pymol.exe "x:\path\to\the\file.pdb"

It's important to enclose the file path/name in double-quotes.
