DiffMerge fails to diff

Hi, I'm quite new to using Vault, and I feel it's a great product. But I have a problem, when I swithed from VSS to Vault, I need to set up all working folders again, and doing that leaves the status to "unknown" so far it's fine, but before I do a "Get latest" I'd like to diff the folders to be sure I don't overwrite anything, but the diffmerge tools just shows a blank screen as in the attached file. The problem affects both single-file diff and folder diff.

Using diffmerge on some files in other folders are working as expected.

Vault version 2.0.3, Diffmerge 1.0.0 (2137)

Is it a very large folder? The problem might be that it is in the process of downloading the folder to a temp directory in order to do the diff.

If not, is there any way to localize, so we could try reproducing it here?

Hi, I think I have found the problem. Some files in some folders work, and others don't. The difference is that the folders that fails to diff has a swedish character (åäö) in the pathname. In that case, the diffmerge doesn't work. As we have named some of our folders in swedish, this will raise problems for us.

I'll log this as a bug, and see if we can get it addressed in the 2.1 timeframe.
