Summary: Avogadro 0.9.6 cannot open its cml files

Initial Comment:
create a new file in Avogardo 0.9.6

  • save it as CML
  • close Avogadro
  • reopen Avogadro
  • try to open the file you just have created

Result: You can use any methon, drag’n drop, File->Open, File->Recent, double-clicking, but Avogadro cannot open the file

The reason are non-ASCII characters in the file:

When I remove all non-ASCII characters from the cml-file with a text editor, Avogadro can open the file. So the bug are definitively the non-ASCII characters.

This bug makes Avogadro useless for all users that don’t use Avogadro with
English menus -> must fix for Avogadro 1.0
