Comment #5 on issue 2374 by DougEdmu...@gmail.com: Dragging a .image in a Windows VM raises an error http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2374 This works in XP. I no longer get the "Error:invalid utf8 input detected" 1. Delete the last two lines from pharo.ini ImageFile=Contents\Resources\pharo.image WindowTitle=Pharo Development 2. Set up a filetype association for .image files to pharo.exe (this allows double-clicking to open the image). Now when you click on pharo.exe (or a shortcut to it), it will ask you to select an image file. The first time, it needs some help finding the directory where they are located; the next time, it remembers that location. By deleting the WindowsTitle= line from the pharo.ini file, the title bar shows the name of the image file that you have opened.
