ascii codec can't decode

[Canor]

Was trying to run convert workflow and didn't work. Turned out there's something wrong with path encoding

 

Debug log attached below.

When I changed the name of my folder that includes .alfredpreferences file, problem solved, but I thought this is just a temporary fix. 

I thought it's Alfred issue, but please let me know if this has to do with workflow. Thanks.

It's not. It's an issue with a library the workflow uses.

 

In future, please don't post any issues with workflows in this forum. It's very unlikely that a crashing workflow is due to an Alfred bug, not a bug in the workflow.

 

They belong in the thread for the workflow or the workflow's GitHub issue tracker. If the problem is then determined to lie with Alfred, a post can be opened here.

 

In this case, the problem appears to be with the pint library used by the workflow, or a library used by pint.

Moving this thread to "Closed". It's not an Alfred bug, and I've fixed the issue with the workflow.
