Hello pepak,
thanks for this nice tool. It makes creating of and working with
collections much more useful.

Originally I had some problems with your current release (0.08),
since after using it, all bookmarks and collections were gone.
Then I realized that german "umlauts" (äöü) in the file names
were the problem, since colbuild did add some new entries for
them, obvioulsly not being able to find the existing ones in
the XML file. So I renamed the offending files and all was fine.

Later I started to modify the code a bit to avoid the file
renaming, with partial success (I'm not very experienced in
Pascal programming and just fought my way through Free
Pascal until I got it working somehow ). Basically I just had
to convert the filename with the OemToUTF8 function
(which additionally needed some fixes, since it seemed to
overwrite some memory elsewhere, at least with my
FreePascal version).

Now I'm wondering how I could contribute my changes,
Can I just send them to you ? I'm not sure how relevant
they are for other people, since you seem to have
enough success with national characters otherwise.
Maybe the problem just arises with the newer german
firmware 1.4?

Best regards,
V
