Error encode in database create.

[Maiya19724]

Hi,@gamcil ! Thank you for developing this useful tool and I have some issues below.

When I try to create a database with gb,gbff,gbk,gff+fasta files, the following errors appears. **Traceback (most recent call last): File "threading.py", line 926, in _bootstrap_inner File "cblaster\gui\main.py", line 339, in run UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb2 in position 11: invalid start byte**

When there are too many input files(About 2,000 to 3,000), the following error will appear in cblaster. **Traceback (most recent call last): File "threading.py", line 926, in _bootstrap_inner File "cblaster\gui\main.py", line 326, in run File "subprocess.py", line 800, in __init__ File "subprocess.py", line 1207, in _execute_child FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long.**

The input file used is attached below. issue1-19.zip

Thanks again for your help.

The second error is windows specific, not CBLASTER (I think) - can you try linux? If there is a workaround please let me know, I had to get a friend to make a DB for me because of this!

Sorry for the late reply. Do you still need this database? I can help you build it, or we could try discussing further since it looks like our research directions might align. @Tim-Kirkwood
