Plugin not handling special characters in usernames #292

I have a special character in my Windows username which apparently causes a problem for AutoSub.

When I try to launch it in Davinci Resolve it replaces the character "é" with an "�" and drops the following error message:

Operating System: Windows
...inci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\AutoSubs.lua:36: Failed to open file: C:\Users\R�ka\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\AutoSubs\install_path.txt

Hence the AutoSub window doesn't open. I tried it with another user who doesn't have any special characters in their names and it did work for them, so definitely the special character is causing the problem here. I don't know how to get around this, without chganging my username, which would mess up all my existing applications which are working perfectly now. And I definitely wouldn't like to change my name because of a software issue.

Please fix this, or let me know in which file should I replace � with é to make it work.
