Description:
This bug has been reported before and is supposed fixed but it is still around (..well, partialy).

Saving a model in a path with Greek characters (for example in <yourDesktopPath>/αβγδε/) crashes Workbench. 

More over, the file disappears (!!) and only the *.bak file remains.

In the past, trying to open a model located in a path with Greek characters by double clicking it, was also causing a crash, but now this works OK.

How to repeat:
just save a model in a path with Greek chars. Some Greek text: αβγδεζηθικλμ

No issues observed when saving SQL script into the αβγδεζηθικλμ dir.

Verified that only saving the model crashes Workbench and renames the onld file to *.bak without saving. 

Forward Eng. exporting SQL script is saved ok in the same folder.

I've got an equivalent problem. Description:

I created a database with Workbench version 6.2.4.12437 build 2426 (64 bit) on a German Windows 8.2 system. 

Today I created an err model from the existing database. This works. 

Whenever I want to save the model Workbench quits without an error message. 

The same happens if I create a model from scratch.

Best regards
Jorg

In 6.3.3 I am able to save a model in an *english path* with a *Greek filename* BUT in the resulting filename the Greek chars are replaced by strange symbols (the filename is obviously in a different encoding). If I try to save in a *path containing Greek chars*, Workbench crashes as described in this thread's first post.

I've tried to save a model in a folder with spanish characters (Folder Facturación) and the workbench crashes. 
To solve the problem, I 've renamed the folder Facturación to Facturacíon (without "accent"). Workbench saved the file

Windows 8.1 (64), WB 6.3.3.0 build 592, tried and tested 10x. Saving any diagram in any path crashes (does not need greek characters or any other non-English characters to result in the same issue). I am simply unable to use such a great feature.

Fernando, if your problem is not related to path names then it doesn't belong here. Can you create a new bug report and append your log file (privately) so we can look after that?

Posted by developer:
 
Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.3.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Saving a model file with non-ASCII characters in the name would crash
Workbench, and renaming a file using non-ASCII characters would rename the
file using the .bak file extension.

Thank you for the bug report.
