I'd rather call it an issue instead of a bug. I am a chinese, so my win2k's default locale is set to Chinese. It seems that the script engine is not compatible with east asian characters. In version 1.2, I still can use the import function although it didnot download covers. It is fine to me. However, now in version 1.4, the script engine cannot start. :( So I am wondering if you can somehow make it compatible with east asian characters again.
Update: the import function for acters is still ok in ver1.4.
